Version 1.1 of the LaTeX enhanced mac-emacs is ready. After an
experimental version posted some time ago, I was able to build a much
more robust environment; moreover, the announced bug in the core
mac-emacs has been patched.
This Emacs is built on top of the mac-emacs.sourceforge.net emacs-21.1
distribution (for MacOSX), enhanced with fully customisable LaTeX
editing environment based on auctex and other packages. This installer
includes everything (but not tetex and ghostview); there is no need to
have X11 installed.
Get it (and send comments) from:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/mac-emacs/
>From the README:
README for LaTeX enhanced mac-emacs installer (version 1.1)
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/mac-emacs/
(Time-stamp: <2002-02-28 02:20:01 franconi>)
This Emacs is built on top of the mac-emacs-21.1 distribution (for
MacOSX) available at http://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net, enhanced with
fully customisable LaTeX editing environment based on auctex and other
packages. There is no need to have X11 installed.
To make a full install simply type from a terminal:
sudo ./mac-emacs-install <machine-name>
where <machine-name> is the name of your computer; type your password
when requested.
The installer will:
- install the mac-emacs application on the Desktop
- install the Emacs package in /Applications
- install "OSX PowerAddOns Lite.osax" in /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions
- create the symbolic link /<machine-name> --> /
The mac-emacs application can be double-clicked and accepts files
drag-and-dropped onto it. Its creator code is EMAx.
Notes:
- No X11 is required.
- mac-emacs requires a working installation of teTeX and ghostview.
- The mac-emacs application can be copied anywhere.
- mac-emacs loads automatically the file ~/.mac-emacs if it exists.
You can study the file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/share/emacs/site-lisp/loadup.el
- To customise the LaTeX Command menu, modify the fully documented file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/tex-site.el
- To have full spelling checking capabilities, install "ispell" from
fink. The latest precompiled binary is usually available with dselect.
- Bugs (from the original mac-emacs distribution): 3 buttons mice are
not supported; customization browsing still does not work.
To play with it, open a .tex file; from the command menu (or with C-c
C-c) select "latex" and, if the compilation is successful, then "view".

i just remember that there was a "long" time ago such a bug of
misspelled words in iTeXMac or may be TeXShop-beta. This has been fixed,
but installation instruction recommended to remove the directories at
~/Library/Application Support/iTeXMac/Generic Projects
~/Library/Application Support/iTeXMac/Hidden Generic Projects
the next time iTeXMac launches it creates those dirs with hopefully safe
stuff.
If you have already customized projects in that directories, you must
save them before then drag them back overwriting existing stuff if
appropriate.

Does anybody else have this problem?

OK. First, you should unzip/untar the file you downloaded. It seems
you did it. Then, you go into the newly created directory - with a
cd mac-emacs-install
it seems you did not do this step. Finally, from that directory you type
sudo ./mac-emacs-install <machine-name>
hope this helps

Hi Jean-Claude,
No. I drop the menu down, pull down to LaTeX Panel is selected and
let go of the mouse (trackpad actually) and up it comes. Does the
keyboard short cut work OK ?

Thanks Michael.
It works.
I find that I can right click too when Latex Palette is selected to
display it.

I know there was a bug like this, but IIRC it has been fixed in version 1.15.
Which version are you using?

Jerome: are you planning on introducing an automated indent
function, so that, for example, after \begin{some environment} every
line is indented? this is a function from alpha which i really miss.

Jerome---this was the problem. I had loaded a TexShop beta at some point
(not that long ago!) and the directories were still there. I've now
removed them and it is fine. What was mystifying was that I had not
invoked altpdflatex, under any spelling or any capitalization. But the
project seemed seemed to be automatically set for that---and so it
didn't complete.
Thanks

I had a problem which was due to Stuffit Expander's inability to properly
unpack the archive - it missed a number of the elements, including the
all-important install-mac-emacs script. When I cd'ed into the unpacked
archive, I found no installer script of that name, so I assumed
(uncorrectly) that the parent directory - which has this exact name- was
the script. As a result, I had exactly the same error as Karim.
My solution was to turn off automatic unstuffing in IE (which I used to
download the archive) and use tar and gzip to generate the proper
directories. Then, I cd'ed into the folder and used the install-mac-emacs
script just as suggested in the readme. Everything then worked (though
there are a number of bugs in the resulting application, one of which is
having mouse-overs permanently select info headings in the help files).
Hope this helps.

Thanks, I will be more precise in the README file of the next release.

It never happened to me. Anyway, I'm responsible only for the wrapping
of emacs with the drag-and-drop application, and with all the LaTeX
packages. Emacs itself comes from mac-emacs.sourceforge.net, where it
is acknoledged that this is still alpha software. Apart from its being
painfully slow in typing, and not supporting 3 buttons mice and button
modifiers, I did not encounter any major bug yet. As soon as a new
release will come out, I'll repackage it with the LaTeX stuff and post
it here.
Let me know if you have a wish list of Latex realted stuff to be
added. For example, I'm trying to make the
preview-latex.sourceforge.net package working on this release of
emacs: this would be a previewer directly in the emacs frame, based on
gs.
cheers
