I've had a Mac for a while, but I haven't been the one who was using it. I've just installed OpenMCL and now I need an IDE. The SLIME OSX screenshot is very nice, but the default emacs on my Mac comes up -nw. ;-\
Thusly I'm looking for a windowing Emacs, either an X11 client or, preferably, an Aqua wossnamethingy.
Fink or Darwinports, I wonder? I'm a FreeBSD guy and somehow I just find Linux-style package management a turn-off. Darwinports it is, this means?
I installed the Emacs used to take that screenshot from source; in general, installing Aqua applications from either Fink or Darwinports is a silly idea. There are prebuilt versions around. Try google on "mindlube emacs".
it's pretty easy to build carbon emacs from cvs. there's a script (make-package) in the mac directory that'll build you an installable mac os x package. i call it with --self-contained so everything is in the app bundle. you might have to install texinfo.
there are also nightly builds here:

There are emacs binaries in the Apple Downloads page:

And it's possible to compile XEmacs as well:

A daily .dmg of the Carbon version of GNU Emacs. Works wonderfully on all of my Macs.
Thanks to all for the great tips!
