Hi All,
It appears that 10.4 has changed enough compared to 10.3.x to break Emacs.
Pre-compiled packages built for 10.3.x break during startup, so I tried compiling from source.
I ran into a couple of problems which I was able to work around, but without really knowing what I was doing, probably did so in the worst way possible.
Problem #1
macgui.c was trying to use emacs_mktime and failed during the link stage.
I hunted the entire codebase and couldn't find this function/macro/other anywhere... am I missing something?
In the end i commented out these lines:
./src/macgui.h-46-#undef mktime
./src/macgui.h:47:#define mktime emacs_mktime
Problem #2
sys/time.h (for reasons that are beyond me) now defines select() and a number of other bits and pieces that are also in sys/types.h. Maybe thats not the whole cause, but to make a long story short, mac.c (specifically sys_select() and select_and_poll_event() ) doesn't compile.
So I removed both functions and, well, it seems to work anyway....
Here are the compiler errors:
<snip>
mac.c: In function 'select_and_poll_event':
mac.c:3877: error: request for member 'fds_bits' in something not a structure or union

mac.c:4226: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'build_string' differ in signedness
make: *** [mac.o] Error 1
If anyone has suggestions on how I should have fixed the above, I can have a go and report back with a patch.
