From 77a29f09f99ba4f0e6f628404bf03876602e27ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geoffrey Oxberry Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 07:44:35 -0800 Subject: emacs: on darwin, do not build Cocoa app (#6882) Building emacs on darwin throws an error when trying to build an Emacs app in the nextstep/Emacs.app path of the build tree. For now, disable building this app. It's possible to enable building the app also; Homebrew offers options to this effect, and also adds Mac-specific options for starting the emacs daemon. However, for the sake of simplicity and getting a workable up-to-date emacs installation on my machine as quickly as possible, this commit focuses on a minimal viable modification. --- var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/emacs/package.py | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/emacs/package.py b/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/emacs/package.py index 21b6b1b17b..e654e9c9c7 100644 --- a/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/emacs/package.py +++ b/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/emacs/package.py @@ -24,6 +24,8 @@ ############################################################################## from spack import * +import sys + class Emacs(AutotoolsPackage): """The Emacs programmable text editor.""" @@ -72,4 +74,9 @@ class Emacs(AutotoolsPackage): else: args = ['--without-x'] + # On OS X/macOS, do not build "nextstep/Emacs.app", because + # doing so throws an error at build-time + if sys.platform == 'darwin': + args.append('--without-ns') + return args -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
