I'm assuming that this thread was started by people who want to use
their Apple machines running OS X as an X-Client, running the X-Server
on some other machine (possible Mac / possibly not.)
So in this situation it would be useful for people who want to use the
X11 version of emacs if it was preinstalled by Apple. But OS X was
never really meant to be used as an X-Client AFAICS. I use a Mac laptop
running X11, so I always use X11 on Mac as an X-Server - which it works
pretty well at. I have X-Apps running from Linux, Solaris, HP-UX etc.
boxes and they all appear on my Mac laptop.
If people want to do things the other way around, I'm hoping that they
have enough know-how and ability to install X11 versions of the
appropriate software(s.) Similarly, if you're using an Apple system as
an X-Client, surely you're also using it in a server role? So RAM and
HDD space should really not be an issue...
If I've completely misunderstood the point of the topic, then I can
only apologise.
Best regards,
-->Gar

I've solved the whole e-macs/X11 problem quite neatly by simply
using vim. emacs is just vim for beginners ;-)

I know it is a joke but I still missing the point of all this thread:
what is supposed to be the problem with emacs and X11? If you do not
have X11 environment available emacs launches within the terminal and
Apple cannot but build it without X11 otherwise it should force X11
installation.
If you subsequently install X11 - because you use the MAc as a BSD
Unix platform - then you may compile emacs with X support and it will
launch in its own window. IF, with the same supporting X11 emacs build
you'd happen to want it in the terminal window (no autonomous windows
per se) simply launch it as 'emacs -nw' .
What is again the problem? Space? 10 MB.
Cheers
