Good idea! Executing this script, which is based on the parameters
used in MacPorts' Portfile for 'emacs-devel',
```
./autogen.sh
CC=/usr/bin/clang \
CFLAGS='-pipe -Os -arch x86_64 -Wno-attributes' \
CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include' \
LDFLAGS='-Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-no_pie -arch x86_64' \
./configure --disable-silent-rules \
--without-ns \
--without-x \
--without-dbus \
--without-gconf \
--without-libotf \
--without-m17n-flt \
--with-libgmp \
--with-gnutls \
--with-json \
--with-xml2 \
--with-modules \
--with-sqlite3 \
--with-webp
make -j2
```
within an Emacs git clone I could successfully compile and install
master (2024136d31) on my Mac OS X Lion box (and it works, too :-).
This is a build with the system's `/usr/bin/clang` but using a current
MacPorts installation for all additional tools and libraries.
Unfortunately, it is beyond my rudimentary Mac OS X knowledge to find
out why the above works, and why the similar `port install
emacs-devel` fails.
Attached is the log file; thanks to `-Wno-attributes` its uncompressed
size is around 0.5MB instead of 100MB (!). I will write a separate
e-mail regarding these attribute warnings.
