Out of curiosity... :-)

Which is the difference between emacs-app and this emacs-mac-app?

emacs-mac-app provides fancy functions such as smooth scrolling and DictionaryService support: ​https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port/blob/master/README-mac

I fixed the port and committed in r98893, r98895 and r98899. Please install it and execute 'open /Applications/MacPorts/EmacsMac.app'. Have a fun :)

hmm... perhaps there is a problem with the coding system, and not only...

1) In the attachment there is a file, la_bibliografia.tex.orig, which is shown coded in utf8 with: Aquamacs, emacs-app (Macports) on MAC OS X. The same occurs on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora) and GTK Emacs, and on Cygwin with GTK Emacs.

2) Instead with emacs-mac-app (macports) it is shown coded iso-latin1.

What is expected and right for me is the case 1).

That file contains the the (opened) accented character "a" and I can see this character with "less", "cat" and the Emacs distributions as described in 1).

Anyway, if emacs-mac-app shows it as iso-latin1 I can convert it in utf8 by means of C-x RET f coding RET. I did this and the result is the file (see attach.) : la_bibliografia.tex.emacs-mac-app.

Now emac-mac-app and Emacs from the above distributions (see 1) ) show this file as coded in utf8, but the accented character "a" is shown wrong: it is displayed as a capita "A" with a tilde (~) over, and followed by an underscore (_).

On MAC world, "COMMAND c" and "COMMAND v" usually copy/paste text (also between terminale and emacs). On emacs-mac-app these commands not work, only C-y seems to work for pasting.

On emacs-mac-app "COMMAND X" gives M-x, on Aquamacs or emacs-app the combination is "ALT(option) x" as on the other distributions cited in 1)...

Ciao, Angelo.

[angelo.graziosi@…]

oops... also "COMMAND q" does not work... The first thing I learned about an year ago when I approached to Mac world, is that CMD-q quits from current application...

None of this seems relevant to this ticket, which is about the error message I received when trying to install the port; nothing more. For other concerns, please open new tickets. This ticket is closed.

If yuo think my comments are not relevant, install emacs-mac-app and use it... and good luck :-)

They are not relevant to this ticket which was about an extract error message which has been fixed. File new tickets for any additional issues.
