Actually deleting things doesn’t sound good, I guess they didn’t test things on such big version jumps or something? Anyway seeing as Apple froze GPL software

Anyway seeing as Apple froze GPL software at the last GPL2 version, surely you’re using Homebrew or MacPorts to get a newer version of emacs anyway?
As for C compilers, I’m not sure if they’ve ever been in the base install, but AFAIK it’s “xcode-select --install” you want if you don’t want to install all of Xcode.
- prirun 3y ago> surely you’re using Homebrew or MacPorts to get a newer version of emacs anyway? Nope, because I don't care about emacs' latest upgrades. I've been using the terminal version of emacs (emacs-nox) since the 80's and whatever version is installed has always worked fine. I tried to install xcode tools yesterday. First it has a license agreement window that needs a click, but it doesn't pop-up in the foreground so I didn't even know it was there. The Install button just error beeps. Then it said it would take 59 hours to download. That's nice. I aborted it. I restarted it today. It says it has 11 minutes to go so maybe things will go smoother this time. Still a complete pain in the ass, and nope, it didn't fix the speaker (I didn't think it would, just a long shot). Thanks for letting me vent!
- goosedragons 3y agoEven just using the terminal version there's a LOT of changes for the better than the ancient version Apple shipped (22?). Package management, native compilation, etc.,.
- Aaron2222 3y agoThe time estimate on the installer always starts off ridiculously high for some reason.
- earth-adventure 3y agoSomehow I prefer that over Windows' infamous installer always flying trough to 99% in 1% of the time, only to waste the next 99% of total install time to finish up that last 1%
