XEmacs Wrapper - 1.05

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"

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!

I was curious to see how similar mine was to yours. I have the following differences, which, if you want, you should feel free to make use of any that might be worthwhile: 1. open -a X11 avoids using the osascript to call X11 2. I cd to the directory containing the edited file that is dragged and dropped onto the app. 3. The code below handles all the spaces -- zsh treats this stuff as arrays and doesn't split words with the spaces. 4. I only made mine for fink but it could be extended. Another improvement would be to check what the DISPLAY really should be set to for multiple users (it isn't always :0.0). I have a zsh script that does that too. #!/bin/zsh -f argarray=("$@") filepath=($argarray[2,-1]) if [[ -d /Applications/Utilities/X11.app ]];then open -a X11 fi if [[ -d /sw/bin ]];then source /sw/bin/init.sh fi export DISPLAY=:0.0 cd "$(dirname "$filepath" )" xemacs "$(basename "$filepath" )"

What a great idea. Can either be clicked directly or set via "open with" as the default application for certain document types.
