Repository, which provides commands es, ec, ecc: To quickly start Emacs as daemon, connect to and kill them, I wrote a bash scriptįunction emacs-server-func.sh on my github Process ID listed and grepped by ps aux | grep -i 'emacs -daemon'. Alternatively, use system command kill with Liberating.To stop an Emacs server (the daemon process), you could call (kill-emacs) in anyĮmacs frame connecting to this daemon. With this knowledge you can now build a specific version of Emacs with options you want to try. The only problem I ran into was Emacs not being able to find libgccjit this was solved by making sure exec-path-from-shell was the first package that loaded by use package in my init.el. Move the executable to Applications folder. Worth pointing out building emacs from source does take some time -j$(nproc) ensures you are at least using all your system's cores. configure -with-cairo -with-imagemagick -with-xwidgets -with-native-compilation git clone -branch emacs-28 -single-branch We clone a single branch for a slightly smaller download size. brew install libxml2 gcc libgccjitĬlone Emacs 28 from savannah. Why not use Homebrew? Homebrew is great and I still use it for installing dependencies like libgccjit but recently Homebrew has started removing options on their code formulae which makes it a lot less convenient for messing around with emacs.

Native compilation leverages libgccjit to compile Emacs lisp code to native code making Emacs very snappy. Native compilation in particular was something I wanted to explore. I've always wanted to build Emacs from source as it lets you try new features.
