Hi,

yes, of course. Once I am through with my part, I will send out a message asking
for issues that I may have overseen.

Do you think we could mention that the Emacs mode is available on the MELPA repository as well? This is so that they understand that they don't have to download it themselves.

    Hi Peter,

    my plan was to include your information in our README-6-porting in
    the next release.

    I am currently preparing that release, but have not reached that
    point yet because
    I am working on keyboard input related proposals and methods.

    Please feel invited to send an updated README-6-porting; I would
    be happy
    to include that.

    Is there a better list to share these steps about using your
    lovely implementation on Mac?
    I can make a better formatted form (via TeX if desired).

    The solution is much simpler. For Xcode 5:
    Launch Xcode
    Go to Xcode menu and select Preferences and Downloads
    Choose Install Command Line Tools and click on Install.

    Open Terminal and follow usual steps of ./configure, make, sudo
    make install.
    It all works flawlessly (except for a whole bunch of warnings).
    Attached is the log FWIW

    The compiler used is llvm clang.

    I'm also able to use the Mac keyboard with the APL font. Here is how.

    Go to <http://www.dyalog.com/resources/>
    Download the APL385 font (also the APL333 one if desired).
    for OS X: Copy the font to /Library/Fonts/ (for all users) or
    ~/Library/Fonts for just yourself (which is what I did)
    In the OS X Font & Keyboard section download the Dyalog APL for
    Unix Apple Macintosh Supplement (which is a pdf)
    Try to download Dyalog Keyboard Layout for OS X. Your browser
    will not be able to do this. If you try you will likely see this

        XML Parsing Error: reference to invalid character number
        Location:
        http://www.dyalog.com/resources/downloads/DyalogAlt.keylayout
        Line Number 96, Column 36:  <key code="51" output="&#x0008;"/>
        -----------------------------------^

    I contacted Dyalog and they sent me an email with it attached.
    Support said

        The XML error occurs as the keylayout file is an XML file,
        and Firefox is
        trying to read it.
        I've let my colleagues know of this and we'll try to improve
        that link.


    Follow the instructions in the Dyalog APL for Unix Apple
    Macintosh Supplement.

    In my case I setup a Terminal settings.terminal file with the
    APL385 as the font.
    The keyboard layout should be placed in Library/Keyboards Layouts
    folder (or ~/Keyboard Layouts) which is what I did
    You need to re-boot after that step. Now you're good to go.
    Open a terminal window with the right settings.
    From the menu bar Language menu (in my Case Canadian English)
    select the Dyalog Alt keyboard.
    One other very nice feature that comes standard with OS X is the
    Keyboard Viewer.
    From the Language menu select it, place it where you wish, launch
    APL in the Terminal window and have fun.

    respect...

    Peter
