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.
