Emacs 25.2 is mostly a bug-fix release and I haven’t had any problems so I didn’t bother installing it as soon as it was released. Still, Irreal likes to be up-to-date on all things Emacs so I finally got around to compiling and installing it. Really, compiling it from source isn’t much harder than using homebrew or one of its siblings. <\/p>\n

Here’s the recipe for compiling and installing it on macOS: <\/p>\n

\n
cd<\/span> path-to-untared-source\nconfigure --with-ns CFLAGS<\/span>=\"-g3 -O2 -I \/usr\/local\/include\/libxml2\"<\/span>\nmake\nmake install\nsudo mv nextstep\/Emacs.app \/Applications\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
 I always mv<\/code> my current Emacs to a backup version but that’s probably just irrational paranoia. The above recipe builds Emacs with EWW support. If you have additional needs, you may have to adjust the configure. <\/p>\n
 UPDATE<\/b> [2017-04-27 Thu]<\/span><\/span>: John Mastro<\/a> commented that he thought  specifying the CFLAGS<\/code> variable to configure<\/code> overroad the default  value, which turns on some optimization. After some investigation,  which you can read about in the comments, I discovered that that was  indeed the case. I rebuilt Emacs with the new configure invocation  shown above. If you followed the old recipe, you may want to do the same. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
