I've edited my makefile according to your example, and everything ran without any error, so thanks a lot for that. I must admit being somehow confused with all my previous trials dispersed over the past couple of months.... I know I've also installed fink, and I also have emacs under fink somewhere. Next to that I also had Aquamacs, and Emcsformacosx. In the mean time I decided to stick with Emacsformacosx for the time being, the reason being that I want to have as much "standard" behaviour as possible. I'm also looking into setting up org-mode with MobileOrg. I use DropBox for cloud storage. Now I copied over my .emacs config file from my winXP box to my Mac. Of course this is a lot different if only for the path and pathstructure. Now I seem to find e.g. that emacsformacosx is incomplete (if I'm correct). I don't find any bbdb nor the typical lisp folder.... (GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.29 of 2010-05-09 on black.local) I also suffer from keyboard shortcut difficulties. (I'm on azerty / laptop keyb) I'm totally unable to get square brackets on my Mac. I can type them in other applications, but not in Emacs. Do you know of a way around this?
