Emacs vs aquamacs install#

(This is somewhat limited, because you can't install packages this way, although you might be able to copy over the files from an x86 setup).

See if Aquamacs will build and run for individual use on an M1 system, without including gnutls.

Look into what's been done for other Emacs distributions on M1.

I'm happy to work with anyone who wants to tackle any of it.įor Aquamacs on M1 as a separate distribution:

I don't have an M1 system to work with yet. Here's an outline of the things I know need to be done for having Aquamacs native on M1/Apple Silicon.

Would it make sense to use rewrite emacs (the existing version), from a fork, and simply add the unique features of Aquamacs? I'm not sure if this is how Aquamacs works, but I do know Emacs does have a Universal Binary, thus it runs native on x86 and ARM 64 (I just picked up a m1 Mac on New Years day and I'm running it now and it's great).

Emacs vs aquamacs code#

I did ok in my Programming languages course and will have to retake Systems II (c level code is hard!, but the first time around I learned a lot). You are too kind :) I'm relatively new to the Computer science field.

Emacs vs aquamacs full#

> From what I understand, there are some issues with M1 compilation of some of the pieces we need for a full Aquamacs build. The Emacs build process calls for gcc, but Xcode is delivered with a 'gcc' program that is just a wrapper for clang, so that's what actually gets called. > Not a stupid question at all!

The following answer relates to current public release of Aquamacs available for download at - i.e., Aquamacs 3.2 GNU Emacs 24.4.51.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0.0, NS apple-appkit-1343.14) of (Aquamacs-3.2) on watson.localĪquamacs does indeed read the init.el that can be placed inside ~/.emacs.d/init.el.
