I just installed the port aqua/emacs-app. I've been using
Aquamacs, but
thought I'd give the port a try. I then went to install auctex, and
port wanted to install emacs. How do I tell port that emacs-app
counts
as an emacs, and so the other emacs doesn't need to be installed?
I trust the problem lies in that emacs-app is build only as a
self-contained package (all files in one Emacs.app package). While
installing emacs addons like auctex, it'll search /opt/local/bin for
emacs and it dooms to fail.
I myself use emacs-app and now I build it manually. I dont do ./
compile
as instructed but in standard three steps (I build from emacs-app bzr
repo in Savannah, not 9.0rc3):
,----
| ./configure --with-ns --without-x --enable-ns-app --prefix=/usr/
local --without-freetype
| make -j4 bootstrap
| sudo make install
`----
(For port file /usr/local should be changed to /opt/local)
So I trust if emacs-app port file is revised to do a standard build
instead of a self-contained one, your problem will be solved.I suppose
so since I never install emacs addons thru Macports. I always do
manual
building and installation.
Well, but port auctex also declares its dependency on "port:emacs".
Only the port emacs can satisfy that dependency. If other ports would
also be suitable, the dependency in auctex could be rewritten like
"path:${prefix}/bin/emacs:emacs" so that any port that installs e.g.
the emacs binary in the MacPorts prefix would satisfy the dependency.
