 FYI, the new command is multipass auth. Note you must first issue multipass set local.passphrase as admin to set passphrase (and then enter this same passphrase when issuing the auth command).

building emacs on mac from source

Building emacs from source 

many github emacs don't build successfully

internet info outdated, changes in emacs 30.1 libjansson  not needed, gnutls deprecated

need macport information, most info on homebrew;

emacs source build works but is not packaged in a dmg

most fail when moved out of build directory

Currently all my builds use Nix to automatically get dependencies, but it should work with manual dependency management using Homebrew/MacPorts/whatever as long as those dependencies are in your path when you run build-emacs-from-tar --no-deps (--no-deps should really be called --no-automatic-deps or something). Check the output of configure to see if it is detecting your dependencies.

Steps to resolve issue:

deleted previous build directory

git clone https://github.com/caldwell/build-emacs
./fetch-emacs-from-ftp -v ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs 

./build-emacs-from-tar -v -j 8 --no-deps emacs-30.1.tar.bz2 release

rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin

Install rust-mode for emacs

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-mode?tab=readme-ov-file#melpa

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-File.html 

https://melpa.org/#/getting-started

create 

touch ~/.emacs.d/init.el

add lines to init.el

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents)

 

Now you can install rust-mode with:

M-x package-install rust-mode

And put this in your config to load rust-mode automatically:

(require 'rust-mode)

Considering nix on macOS

Stop the madness: Let's not go down this rabbit hole

I have known about nix and nixOS for a long, long time.  Eelco Dolstra was still a graduate student when I first took it for a spin.  It was cool; but I didn't need its features because I am not a developer.  port (macports.org) does everything I need.

Traffic Light: RED, STOP DO NOT PROCEED

Cons: 

instrusive, potentially irreversible changes?!?

complexity = steep learning curve.

creates giant (5GB+) separate volume to hold repository!

tiny community = good luck finding info

 

Pros: 

nix shell (shell with deps)

goodbye to docker containers to isolate dependencies and packages

 Found UTM which is a slick frontend to qemu.  

Clipboard Sharing

Install spice-vdagent and reboot to enable clipboard sharing.

sudo apt install spice-vdagent

Woes

 x86 images are as slow as molasses.   Pop_os!  is only available in x86 iso.

arm64 are much faster; UTM has an image gallery where ubuntu 22.04 arm64 is available.

part 1:clean rust install

Note:

If you need rustc and cargo to learn rust you might not need rustup.  However it is required for most projects.   So follow this.

Install Rust (macos)

 curl –proto ‘=https’ –tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

 

The install (see above) is as easy as the official site (https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) says.   So why don't I like it?

Well I know I would have to:

1. examine the script and try to figure out what it was doing
2. write a note to myself about some directory paths
3. review above note to uninstall 
4. leave behind a bunch of left over files
   

Instructions

macport is the package manager I use.

download and install macports from macports.org

A how to for homebrew users.

You don't need xcode but you will need the tools.  Launch terminal and enter these commands:

xcode-select --install

sudo port install rust

sudo port install cargo

 

cd /opt/local/bin 

./rustc --version
rustc 1.77.1 (7cf61ebde 2024-03-27) (built from a source tarball)
 

Success you have installed rust!

macos 12.7 Monterey macbook pro 2.7 GHz Core i5 (I5-5257U)

Part 2: rustup; why

speed up oh my zsh launch

Slow Start Up

The first time I launch terminal (which I rarely do) it takes about 10 seconds to finish loading.  Way longer than it should but I didn't bother fixing it.

 

What Really Happened

Still slow, adding the two lines to .zshrc did not fix it. Commented them out.

Added:

export NVM_LAZY=1

Will not fix for now.

 

 

Fix

Launch your Terminal app.  I used the nano editor in Terminal. 

Edit .zshrc

 

nano .zshrc

then copy and paste, the lines below to the end of your .zshrc file

# configure node version manager
export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" --no-use 

# This loads nvm
alias node='unalias node ; unalias npm ; nvm use default ; node $@'
alias npm='unalias node ; unalias npm ; nvm use default ; npm $@'

Fix slow ZSH startup due to NVM

 

 

 

Solved: bootable ssd big sur m1 apple silicon

Creating bootable external ssd  macos big sur m1 apple silicon

I installed macos Big Sur 11.6.8 on an external 256GB m.2 NVME ssd connected to the Thunderbolt port on an m1 Apple Silicon machine.  I used both the standalone installer downloaded from the App Store and from macos Recovery mode (holding down the power button).

Each time install would fail at the first reboot of the installer.

The install log in the Installer gives a hint:

 bridge device not found 

Problem:

 

The ssd is bus powered; it is not powered up when the installer restarts.

Solution:

The external ssd needs an external power source.  I connected the ssd to a port on a drive dock with its own power brick.  After installation you can plug the external ssd into the Thunderbolt port again.  

In addition, remember to set your internal drive as the startup drive (Apple menu> system prefs>Startup Disk) when you disconnect your external ssd.  Your system may not start correctly if you don't set the startup disk.

This applies to macos Big Sur 11.6.8.

./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. 

 

 

 

 

Download Xcode 13 xip

I went on a search for Xcode which is on the App Store but also just downloadable:
