port -d install emacs +atsui

Attached is a more detailed log of the port compilation-- at first glance it appears to be breaking in the 'dump' phase of building the final executable. IIRC - emacs still does the 'ubertricky' core-preload trick. In any event, here is the port install log:

(emacs.log)

The fundamental fault appears to be :

Assertion failed: (filesize <= ranges->size), function unexec_regions_recorder, file unexmacosx.c, line 454.

(I have tried with and without +atsui)

YAMAMOTO Matsuharu's patch to fix emacs on leopard.

[lloyd@…]

Attached a patch.

​http://lloydforge.org/index.rhtml/opensource/emacs_leopard_macports.html

gives a hokey work-around to get emacs installed and in the ports registry until the port is updated.

I tried this patch but it didn't work for me. However, one attached to bug #13294 does work, hopefully the port update will be checked in soon.

Should this be marked as a duplicate of #13294, then?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Marking as duplicate of #13294, since that ticket has a working patch.
