emacs: only runs in terminal (no GUI)

Reported by: cajhww Owned by: drkp (Dan Ports)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: catap (Kirill A. Korinsky), cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: emacs

Description

I installed emacs with macport "sudo port install emacs" and the emacs application at /opt/ local/bin/emacs, but when starting the editor it will only come up in the terminal, not with a GUI. This is despite the fact that other X11 applications (like keys) will happily open up X graphics. Any ideas on how to get a GUI to work?

I think you want either the gtk, motif, or x11 variant?

emacs has the variants:
   dbus: Builds emacs with D-Bus support
   gtk: Builds emacs as an X11 program with GTK+3 widgets
     * requires x11
   imagemagick: Use ImageMagick
     * requires x11
   motif: Builds emacs as an X11 program with Motif widgets
     * requires x11
[+]nativecomp: Builds emacs with native compilation support
[+]treesitter: Builds emacs with tree-sitter support
   universal: Build for multiple architectures

There's also the emacs-app port which I presume is a GUI.

Yes, emacs-app is gui version, indeed
