It's very simple to build Emacs from scratch for X11 on the Mac. I follow the instructions posted by Andrew Choi at http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/stories/obtaining-and-building.html.
Basically, make sure you have the developer tools installed, then: 1) Install GNU texinfo: $ cd /tmp $ curl -O ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.8.tar.gz $ tar zxf texinfo-4.8.tar.gz $ cd texinfo-4.8 $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install 2) Check out, build, and install Emacs: $ cd /tmp $ export CVS_RSH="ssh" $ cvs -z3 -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs $ cd emacs $ ./configure --with-x --without-carbon --without-x-toolkit $ make bootstrap $ sudo make install I add the --without-x-toolkit because I like it that way, not because it's necessary. It's a great antique environment for doing Python programming and running Python shells. M-x pdb.
