Product Description:

XEmacs Wrapper is a wrapper around the excellent XEmacs editor. You will need to install XEmacs:
  • by compiling the source (installs into /usr/local/bin), or
  • by using fink (installs into /sw/bin), or
  • by using DarwinPorts (installs into /opt/local/bin)
You will also need Apple's X11 in order to run XEmacs.

This wrapper integrates XEmacs into the Finder by providing a regular double-clickable application that will activate X11 and launch XEmacs. Of course, it completely supports drag-and-drop, too! Also, I enlarged and enhanced one of the classic XEmacs icons, so the Finder icon for this wrapper looks nice at 128x128. :-)

XEmacs Wrapper was created with Platypus.

What's new in this version:

  • Changed how X11 gets launched (thanks, wgscott!) and made a minor change to how the $DISPLAY gets set (hopefully this helps Edwin-schemer)

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
  • X11 1.0 or higher
  • XEmacs

XEmacs Wrapper Usage TipLooking for this for ages - Version: 1.05, 6/7/2005 11:41PM PST

Many thanks for this.

I want to use /sw/bin/emacs - and have found I can do that
by altering XEmacs Wrapper.app/Contents/Resources/script so
the line
cmd="xemacs"
reads
cmd="/sw/bin/emacs"

XEmacs Wrapper Developer NoteMultiplying Comments - Version: 1.04, 6/1/2005 10:00AM PST

I just posted a reply to Edwin-schemer's bug report. I now see that there are multiple copies of my comments. I can also see that some of the previous comments for this SW are being duplicated many times.

I have no idea why the same Comments are showing up multiple times here, but I have notified VersionTracker. Hopefully they can fix it...

XEmacs Wrapper Troubleshooting ReportYour wrapper start X11, but fails to launch xemacs - Version: 1.04, 5/27/2005 10:28AM PST

Edwin-schemer
Dera hypert,
When I double-click on your wrapper, X11 gets launched, but xemacs does not start up.
I have xemacs-21.5.20, compiled with gcc-4, and installed in the standard location /usr/local/bin/xemacs, with Apple's X11 from the 10.4 Xcode installation.
I usually start Xemacs manually from an xterm, since otherwise it does not get my full $PATH (including /usr/local/teTeX/bin, which is essential fo running AucTeX directly from the buffer).
I watched processes in "top" and whenever I click on your wrapper, Xemacs starts up for a while, and then exits.

The console log says:
CTVD X11DO: Connecting to new XDisplay
Gui error: X server not responding
, "127.0.0.1:0.0"

My Display is :0.0, rather than 127.0.0.1:0.0.
Is there a simple way to fix it? Maybe you could make the source code available, so we could recompile it for the specific local evironment?
Thanks in advance!
