Has anyone successfully compiled the latest CVS version of Emacs on Snow Leopard? If so, could you provide instructions? I was using the following on Leopard, and it worked fine:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs
cd emacs
./configure --enable-carbon-app --with-ns --with-jpeg=no --with-gif=no \
--with-tiff=no
make bootstrap
make
sudo make install
sudo cp -r nextstep/Emacs.app /Applications/Emacs.app
but this no longer works on Snow Leopard.
To answer my own question, there are pre-build binaries of Emacs that work on Snow Leopard, such as http://emacsformacosx.com/
The patches that are available in various places only work for specific CVS revisions most of the time.
