If you're looking for GNU emacs on Mac OS X, this is the place I use [1]. Note that it's not there just yet, so be a bit patient. They've been doing RC builds

Weirdly, 24.4rc1 from the builds section is really wonky on my OS X Mavericks install. On scroll, the buffers go "above" the window and the top bar breaks up into tiny pieces and scrolls with the content. Ugh.

  Perhaps some weird kind of font issue? Try setting a different default font, and seeing if that does anything. (The font popup is bound to Option-t by default, I think.)

This is the best discussion of the different versions of emacs available for MacOS I've seen (including emacsformacos): http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/271/what-is-the-difference-between-aquamacs-and-other-mac-versions-of-emacs http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/271/what-is-the-dif... Short version: Lunaryorn: "I used to get them from Emacs for Mac OS X, but now I use Homebrew, because it supports more libraries, notably GNU TLS for encrypted network connections. All in all: Use brew install emacs --HEAD --use-git-head --cocoa --with-gnutls --with-rsvg --with-imagemagick :)"

  Thanks for that! I went through this on my own quite some time ago and came to my own conclusion that GNU emacs is the one for me, especially since I do program on mac os x, Linux and Windows. EDIT: Well, now that I've read that in full, I'm thinking of giving the author's conclusion a try: > All in all: Use brew install emacs --HEAD --use-git-head --cocoa --with-gnutls --with-rsvg --with-imagemagick :)

    Heh - my 'short version' was inadvertently included in my top comment. I also use the brew install version.

I just built it from source yesterday - easy. Search for "OS X" in the install file for directions.
