There are some recipes which include a `--with-emacs` flag or similar. IIRC these will usually assume that the installed elisp files should be byte-compiled with the emacs from homebrew, and this is broadly reasonable. Take a look at the existing recipes for more on how to do that. Note, though, that OS X users get their Emacs apps from all over the place, and the byte code can be incompatible from one Emacs version to the next. Consequently, the *safest* place for a user to install elisp from is a package archive like MELPA, so that it is downloaded and byte-compiled from *within* the Emacs he actually uses. -Steve -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
