+* BUILDING EMACS ON MAC OS X
 
-You will need MPW-GM to build the make-docfile utility and to generate
-the doc string file DOC.
+You should be able to build Emacs on Mac OS X by typing the following
+commands at the top-level directory after the source distribution is
+un-tarred.
 
-To decompress files, you can use MacGzip from
+  ./configure
+  make
+  make install
 
-  http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/~spd/gzip
+The last step must be performed as root.

+If you have X Window installed, you need to type `./configure
+--without-x' instead of `./configure'.
 
-  http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/tar-40b.hqx
+You can type `make bootstrap' instead of `make' to rebuild everything,
+including byte-compiling the Lisp files.
 
-(Optional) If you wish to fetch files from the Emacs CVS repository
-directly to your Mac, you can use the CVS client MacCVS, which can be
-downloaded from
+If you have not installed the GNU texinfo package on your system, the
+build will complain that makeinfo cannot be found.  Instructions for
+installing the GNU texinfo package are given below.  Alternatively,
+you can type `make -k' instead of `make' and safely ignore the error
+messages and use the existing info files.
 
-  http://www.wincvs.org/
+After Emacs is installed, you can run it by typing `emacs -nw' from a
+terminal (make sure your path contains /usr/local/bin) or by
+double-clicking on mac/Emacs.app in the Finder.  At present,
+command-line options cannot be passed to Emacs running under the Aqua
+GUI.  This should soon be fixed.
 
-(Optional) A subset of the fonts from the GNU intlfonts-1.2
-distribution converted to NFNT format can be obtained from
+To use colors in a terminal, put the following lines in the file
+~/.termcap and log in again.

+
+To build a binary distribution of Emacs for Mac OS X, run the shell
+script make-bin-dist in the `mac' directory.  This will create a file
+emacs-21.xx.yy-mac-bin.tar.gz.
+
+To install the binary distribution, untar the file and run the shell
+script osx-install in its top-level directory.
+
+To build the `info' files, you need to install the texinfo software.
+
+To install from source, obtain texinfo-4.2.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org or
+a mirror.  Un-tar it, enter its directory and type
+
+  ./configure
+  make
+  make install
+
+The last step needs to be performed as root.
+
+You may also like to install ispell, which will allow you to use
+ispell and flyspell-mode.  To install ispell from source, you first
+need to install GNU textutils.
+
+To do so, download textutils-2.0.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org or a mirror.
+Un-tar it, enter its directory, type
+
+  ./configure --host=powerpc-apple-bsd
+  make
+  make install
+    
+Again, the last step needs to be performed as root.  Note that if you
+run `make check', the test for `pr' will fail.
+
+Get and un-tar ispell-3.2.06.tar.gz.  Look for it here:
+
+  http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html
+
+Go into its directory, type

+example since `/tmp' exists on my machine and I am using `bash', I

+
+* BUILDING EMACS ON MAC OS 8/9
+
+You can use either Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 6 or MPW-GM (Aug. 2001)
+to build Emacs.  MPW-GM can be downloaded free of charge from Apple.
+
+In either case, you will need MPW-GM to build the make-docfile utility
+and to generate the doc string file DOC.

 You will need around 100 MB of disk space for the source files and

+It will not run on machines running Mac OS 8/9 with more than 256 MB

+it is run under Mac OS X.  But the usual 128MB buffer limit of a
+32-bit Emacs still exists.
 
-When Emacs is built with "-opt speed" enabled in makefile.MPW,

+On Mac OS 8/9, to use the same icon as when Emacs is built on Windows
