emacs Universal build Intel x86_64 and arm64

emacs Intel, arm build

If you just want to install gnu emacs for macos and get going Emacs for MacOSX is the place to go.  

I did the builds on my early-2015 mbp with Big Sur 11.6.

• read https://github.com/caldwell/build-emacs
• download build scripts
  

 

I didn't install xcode.

xcode-select --install (installs command line tools)

install macports
sudo port install xz
./fetch-emacs-from-ftp -v ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/

 

# port install xz

# if you need to convert xz to bz2

# xzcat -c emacs-27.2.tar.xz | bzip2 > emacs-27.2.tar.bz2

./build-emacs-from-tar -v emacs-27.2.tar.bz2 release 

Success:

Built Emacs-27.2-11.6-x86_64.tar.bz2, Emacs-27.2-11.6-x86_64-extra-source.tar

• CODESIGN crash

Then I reproduced those same steps on an m1 mac mini with xcode13 installed and signed it:

• ./combine-and-package -v --sign "Common Name" Emacs-27.2-11.6-arm64.tar.bz2 
• replace "Common Name" with the name in the keychain access login cert.
  
• see: code signing issue #103  
• Success!  Thanks Emacs for MacOSX!
  

TODO:

Go back to the MBP and try the codesign step. 

 

 

 

 

Windfall Computer Part 2

 ...Previously

 

• installed 2x4GB sticks DDR3L RAM and Ubuntu 20.04

DDR3L RAM low(er) voltage so uses less power 

Doing almost anything on Linux requires some amount of sudo apt update get install. 

• reverted to Windows 10 H21

unknown SMB bios device

no setup DVD-iso on ASUS site

Asus H81M-K audio driver:

• H81M-K - Support - Asus

• No sound when you plug in audio device on back/front audio port

• installed Virtualbox 6.1
  
• installed Starcraft 2 and World of Warships

Windfall Computer Part 1

 Covered in dust and leaves; on the sidewalk a black tower pc. Free.  Hmmm.

Quality Corsair case.  Plastic retention clips brittle with age.  What was inside?

• Asus H81M-K motherboard
• i7-4790 cpu (85W TDP)
  
• stock Intel heatsink and fan
• quiet case fans
  
• 8GB DDR3 RAM

I had hit the jackpot!  Free on the street but Windows 10 install fails. ubuntu install fails.  Ran memtest86+ for hours and then found bad RAM.
