Here is my step to repo this issue:

git clone https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos
cd build-emacs-for-macos
brew bundle
./build-emacs-for-macos feature/native-comp

Here is the error message

configure: error: elisp native compiler requested but libgccjit header files were

I checked that libgccjit is already installed by homebrew, here is the result of brew info libgccjit.

I believe CLI integration to get a emacs command for use in terminals can be
improved over the current alias method suggested in the readme.

Essentially, add a shell script called emacs into
Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin, where emacsclient is already located. The
script would need to resolve it's own absolute path on disk, then execute
Emacs from the parent folder passing in -nw arguments.

Then making emacs and emacsclient available in the terminal would simply be
a matter of adding the bin path:

if [ -d "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin" ]; then
  export PATH="/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH"
fi

As for the emacs shell script in question, I believe this should work:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

resolve_link() {
  "$(type -p greadlink readlink | head -1)" "$1"
}

abs_dirname() {
  local path="$1"
  local name
  local cwd
  cwd="$(pwd)"

  while [ -n "$path" ]; do
    cd "${path%/*}" || exit 1
    name="${path##*/}"
    path="$(resolve_link "$name" || true)"
  done

  pwd
  cd "$cwd" || exit 1
}

exec "$(dirname "$(abs_dirname "$0")")/Emacs" -nw "$@"

I will need to perform a bit of testing to ensure such a wrapper script doesn't
introduce any issues before adding it, but I believe it'll work just fine :)

Sometimes when quitting Emacs while native compilation is running, it will leave
one or more *.eln files behind with a size of zero bytes. These files will
prevent Emacs from launching until they're deleted either manually, or via the
suggested configuration snippet above in the Configuration section.

Currently I work around this issue by finding and deleting any *.eln files in
my eln-cache directory at startup, along with also setting a custom eln-cache
directory:

(when (boundp 'comp-eln-load-path)
  (let ((eln-cache-dir (expand-file-name "cache/eln-cache/"
                                         user-emacs-directory))
        (find-exec (executable-find "find")))
    (setcar comp-eln-load-path eln-cache-dir)
    ;; Quitting emacs while native compilation in progress can leave zero byte
    ;; sized *.eln files behind. Hence delete such files during startup.
    (when find-exec
      (call-process find-exec nil nil nil eln-cache-dir
                    "-name" "*.eln" "-size" "0" "-delete" "-or"
                    "-name" "*.eln.tmp" "-size" "0" "-delete"))))

TL;DR: native-comp builds are not fully self-contained at the moment.

It seems that the library embedding mechanism that's in place is not enough to
get libgccjit working for native comp purposes, as it still seems to depend on
the patched gcc Homebrew formula being on disk under
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/<version>/.

This is easy to test by temporarily renaming the
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/<version> directory to something else.

I don't know enough about how libgccjit works to even have a rough plan for how
to fix this right now. Any updates or further info I find will be posted here.

I run doom emacs, and they only support up to emacs 27, readme says that native-comp installs eamcs 28.

What's the difference between these:

• ./build-emacs-for-macos emacs-27.1 --native-comp
• ./build-emacs-for-macos feature/native-comp

I've been using the a45aed9 build for a few weeks (and before that, have used several previous builds to get native-comp for the past year or so -- thanks for your work!).
I am running macOS 10.14.6 Mojave. Today, after a reboot and installing a Safari 14.1.2 security upgrade, when I started Emacs, it failed.

../Emacs.2021-07-25.a45aed9.master.macOS-10-14.x86_64 $ open Emacs.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/william/scm/sandinmyjoints/build-emacs-for-macos/builds/Emacs.2021-07-25.a45aed9.master.macOS-10-14.x86_64/Emacs.app.

I deleted the build and sources, then rebuilt with ./build-emacs-for-macos --git-sha a45aed9479f610bcbc7a171b60d915fefc9b586a master but got the same result.

I don't know if this is something that can be fixed on your end. Perhaps it's related to me running an older version of macOS and my only option is to upgrade. But thought I'd post here in case others run into it and/or have any ideas.

For some reason build-emacs-for-macos started failing recently during the Emacs configure phase -- not being able to find gnutls:

Problems:

After build the emacs, and codesign (#64). My mac return me the panic report that:

dyld[16543]: Library not loaded: @rpath/libwebp.7.dylib
  Referenced from: <8B34F8AD-74B5-371E-AED8-5F8BC7340372> /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwebpdemux.2.dylib

Temporary solution:

After some research and debugging, I find it the @rpath value is path @executable_path/../Frameworks (offset 12). After I add homebrew's lib path to @rpath by install_name_tool -add_rpath /opt/homebrew/lib /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs. The problem is solved. It can get the libwebp.7.dylib now.

I checked the code and find line 170 define extra_libs which copy to Frameworks in embed (maybe? I don't know Ruby).

Maybe we can also copy libwebp.7.dylib too? Thanks!

My env:

macOS 13.4.1
M2 Max
GNU Emacs master branch

Currently cconv.el.gz that's part of Emacs fails to natively compile for me,
leading to a error/warning at start up. It also leaves a zero byte sized *.eln
file behind, which can be dealt by with the work around in #3.

As far as I can tell this doesn't seem to actually break anything or prevent
things from working correctly though.

Details

The compile log error:

Compiling /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv.el.gz...
uncompressing cconv.el.gz...
uncompressing cconv.el.gz...done
ld: library not found for -lgcc_ext.10.5
libgccjit.so: error: error invoking gcc driver

Initially I thought it was simply missing the libgcc_ext.10.5.dylib from GCC,
as other libs are bundled into Emacs.app, but libgcc_ext was not. However
manually adding it to the libs to embed/bundle yields this error:

fatal error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/install_name_tool: input file: /Users/jimeh/Projects/build-emacs-for-macos/sources/emacs-mirror-emacs-c818c29/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/lib-x86_64-10.15/libgcc_ext.10.5.dylib is Mach-O dynamic shared library stub file and can't be changed

Sadly some googling for information about this kind of error and possible
workarounds didn't yield much.

So I tried not bundling libgccjit into Emacs.app, and instead referencing it
from the homebrew install path, but that didn't solve the issue either.

For now I'm out of ideas for how to fix or workaround this.

Update: It seems that cconv.el.gz compiles just fine on my machine if I
launch Emacs into terminal mode:

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -nw

I'll try and dig into why it fails when launched with GUI, but doesn't in
terminal.

Commit emacs-mirror/emacs@e245c4f added support for giving arguments to the --with-native-compilation flag, but the side effect is that the build script no longer detects native-comp support via the configure script's help output.

A fix would involve more flexible pattern matching for the --with-native-compilation flag, along with also passing aot to the flag if support for args is detected.

I have built native comp emacs successfully using your script and using the latest git hash that you flagged as working but when launching it I get:

emacs: dlopen(/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/../native-lisp/28.0.50-x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0-919382e94fb290efe3ee4a93fd4035d3/lisp-mode-0189ba85598c041b7504f0a916c04219-1738806322de892570d69dfc55b437c2.eln, 1): image not found

Any help would be appreciated!

When launching Emacs via Finder, Emacs crashes when trying to determine if it
should use the fancy startup screen or not. Because of this SVG support is no
longer enabled by default, but must instead be explicitly enabled with the
--rsvg flag.

If you do need SVG image support, the work around is to disable the startup
screen as early as possible in your config with:

(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)

I have tracked the issue down to the use-fancy-splash-screens-p function
which runs on startup to determine if the fancy (with images) startup screen
should show or not. It is specifically this call to image-size which
causes it to crash.

The crash can be re-produced in a *scratch* buffer with:

(setq frame (fancy-splash-frame))
(setq img (create-image (fancy-splash-image-file)))
(image-size img nil frame)

Update: Thanks to @zzkt it looks like SVG support does work on macOS 10.14.x
if you disable XWidgets:

./build-emacs-for-macos --rsvg --no-xwidgets feature/native-comp

This does not seem to work on macOS 10.15.x however.

Have you considered using a git repo for the source instead of downloading large files for each build? It seems like it would be easier in the long run to use something like submodules. Then building a different commit would be as simple as a git checkout.

I realize this is probably one of those things that will be harder than it sounds when you get into it, but it seems like it might make things easier later.

I update gcc and libgccjit this morning and the libgccjit.so file in /usr/local/opt/libgccjit/lib/gcc/ changed to libgccjit.0.dylib. And it make libgccjit_lib_dir become empty line 1128

Sounds like they keep this change in future versions disscussion.

Do we have configuration filter or options can make build-emacs-for-macos use libgccjit.dylib instead of .so?

Thank you

All *.eln files compiled by Emacs at runtime, get linked against
/usr/local/lib/gcc/11/libgcc_s.1.dylib, which doesn't exist unless the gcc
homebrew formula is installed.

I'm not sure where that path comes from, I'm assuming it's hard-coded somewhere
in gcc or libgccjit from the homebrew installed versions.

Manually re-linking a *.eln file against
@executable_path/lib/gcc/11/libgcc_s.1.dylib fixes the issue, but that's a not
really a viable solution.

Ideally I'll need to figure out where that path comes from, and if it can be
changed so @executable_path is used by default. Or worth case potentially some
elisp advising to automatically execute install_name_tool -change to re-link
*.eln files right after creation, but before attempting to load them.

I managed to get feature/pgtk built on my MBP and it works, but it's not great yet. The build didn't work out of the box with this tool though.

I manually tweaked the configure flags but got errors when the Makefile started trying to write to /usr/local/libexec. make install on this branch writes to some glib paths and doesn't seem to honour whatever sandboxing this script does to capture the build in Emacs.app

I didn't dig in too far since the resulting build wasn't really usable yet but thought it was worth an issue in case someone who knows Ruby better than I do wants to try fix the build process.

Hello everyone 👋🏼,

After cloning the project, I followed the installation procedure described in README.md. As of it now, brew bundle doesn't work for me. Particularly, the following error message has been shown:

==> Downloading https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula.jws.json
######################################################################## 100.0%
Error: key not found: "osx-cross/arm/arm-gcc-bin@8"
Did you mean?  "osx-cross/arm/arm-gcc-bin@10"

Please see the attached screenshot with the complete stack trace

I tried my best to google for workarounds for the installation of arm-gcc-bin@8-2019-q3-update, since there is no available formula for it

Furthermore, the current version seems to be $12.2$

Thus, my question is if I have been missing something of requirements, or it is an actual issue to be reported?

Many thanks in advance!
Cheers, 🍻

P.S.: I have MacBook Pro 2019's version with Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68) running.

Implementing this patch offers a ~95% improvement for PTY speed which is useful for a handful of different features but particularily eshell performance.

Hi there! I want to say huge thanks for this project, I've been using it since December on my m1 pro to periodically build native-comp emacs apps. Just recently, I started to get issues with the new builds when actually running my built emacs app using libgccjit, here is how I build it (using the last good commit hash for demonstration purposes):

However, when actually launching emacs, I get the following error:

(goes on)

For some reason, even though my compiler built emacs with libgccjit, when emacs itself tries to compile the package into native .eln, something happens with the gcc driver.

By any chance anyone has encountered a similar error?

Thank you

Update: Forgot to mention that the build itself is finishing without errors. This has been built for arm64, uname -m returns arm64. However, if I switch to x86_64 using rosetta, the error is the same as the above.

Hi,

I just switched to Catalina, and it seems like the new wrapper script in the app bundle causes problems to switch to the emacs 28 (native compilation) app bundle using Spotlight, Alfred or by double-clicking in Finder, similar to described here for emacsformacosx: https://spin.atomicobject.com/2019/12/12/fixing-emacs-macos-catalina.

Basically, once opened, Spotlight/Alfred do not change focus to the opened app instance, while I even had Finder opening multiple app instances instead of switching the open one.

There is a workaround using Applescript, see;: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/13807-upgrade-macos-catalina-and-alfred-4-alfred-couldnt-switch-the-window-to-emacs/, that makes pre-Catalina app switch behaviour work again, but it feels like a clutch.

Is there any way the wrapper script (which sets the right paths, for example to find GCC) could be integrated into init.el, such that it could be discarded?

PS: BTW, the app bundle I created on 10.13 worked without a hitch on 10.15, except for the above issue.

The native-comp-env-setup patch has always been a rather horrible first draft hack. There's a number of fragile areas which can be improved, and also finding a better way to ensure it runs before any native compilation starts would be great. The current advice-add/advice-remove solution for it is horrible.

Additionally it seems like it might be at least partially responsible for Emacs bug #45701.

Improvements:

• Let the build script explicitly write out the GCC directory paths into the patch, as the build script already knows what they are. This will leave the elisp patch only responsible for dynamically looking up the invocation-directory and concatenating it with the explicit paths. This will yield much less logic in the elisp patch itself, and hence much less chance of it breaking anything. (#30)
• Figure out a better way to run the env setup before any native compilation starts.

GCCEmacs maintainer posted this a few weeks ago.

I saw that the plain ./build-emacs-for-macos --git-sha <SHA> --native-full-aot didn't actually build with the native-comp. But when I retrieved with --with-native-comp it worked automatically.

After running ./build-emacs-for-macos --git-sha fd9e9308d27138a16e2e93417bd7ad4448fea40a feature/native-comp, everything seems to compile alright, but then I get the following error:

I found the compiled app; the app itself launches just fine, but I get an error message on opening:

File is missing: Opening directory, No such file or directory, /Users/ashton/Sync/repos/build-emacs-for-macos/sources/emacs-mirror-emacs-fd9e930/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/gcc

(Also, my .emacs didn't load.)

If possible, it would be useful to provide some basic instructions in the README about how to execute the built Emacs.app from the command line. My naive attempts to do this failed.

I successfully built Emacs.app against feature/native-comp yesterday. I symlinked the built Emacs.app into /Applications/Emacs.app and then tried to link to underlying executable as follows, but have issues with dynamic linkage:

I appear to be able to open emacs via Spotlight just fine, but can't successfully run a doom-emacs install since the linked emacs executable fails.

One obvious solution, which I dislike, is to just modify PATH to include the built emacs executable. Is there another way? In either case I'm sure a few sentences in the README would help.

Hi @jimeh,

Thanks for your great project.

I use ./build-emacs-for-macos to build emacs 29, but will got these warning:

dbus[86536]: Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!loaded

Because I don't use dbus on macOS, is there an option to disable it?

Native-comp is now in the master branch of Emacs. The latest commit on the
master branch is not always stable/reliable though.

Below is a list of known "good" commits, which yielded builds that worked for me
on my machine, with my config, typically for at least a day or two of regular
work without issues. Your mileage may vary.

I download and run build-emacs-for-macos on my computer this morning. Everything looks good until step symlink_internals.

==> INFO: Creating symlinks within Emacs.app needed for native-comp

After this, I chdir into nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/ and run ./MacOS/Emacs manually. It return me

Is there any solutions of this error? Or I did something wrong with my env?

Thank you

After the changes in Update 11
to gccemacs, the native *.eln files are cached with a hash. This hash seems to
be in part based on the absolute file path of the lisp file in question. As
Emacs.app is self-contained, the absolute path at build time and will not be the
same as once it's installed into /Applications.

This means that all the natively compiled *.eln files bundled into Emacs.app
will not be used, and instead all lisp sources will be natively compiled and
cached in the the user cache (~/.emacs.d/eln-cache/ by default). Native
compilation status can be viewed in the *Async-native-compile-log* buffer.

Because of this, NATIVE_FAST_BOOT is enabled by default ensuring as fast a
build as possible, with as little native compilation as possible at build time.

Just wanted to say this script is great - worked out well for me!

However, when looking at the the feature list from the emacs-build repository, I notice there really isn't way to add "--with-all". For reference, the feature list includes the following (ignoring mingw):

xpm
jpeg
tiff
gif
png
rsvg
cairo (not sure if needed)
harfbuzz (not sure if needed)
json
lcms2
xml2
gnutls
zlib
native-compilation

Locally, I edited the script to include these features, also including imagemagick. I tested to see if this would work, and it appears it can! It would be a nice to have to have the ability to add some of these features. I would also argue that --with-json would be a could default as well.

If you think its a good idea, maybe I could add flags to the script that would could append these options to the build.

Current OS: MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3
git version 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128)

Trying to run the script on the following ruby versions:

• ruby-2.4.2 [ x86_64 ]
• ruby-2.5.3 [ x86_64 ]
• ruby-2.7.2 [ x86_64 ]

and getting the error

Hi, as libgccjit is now available for m1 MacBooks, it should be possible to compile emacs master for apple silicon. The emacs-plus@28 --native-comp works fine, but it was a bit buggy,

trying to build using the following command ./build-emacs-for-macos --git-sha 3f8b303ec087ba3d0bd524c7fc8c628ef15a3e4a master results in this output:

You may want to specify the necessary ruby version, as the macos pre-installed one is too old to work with the script. Thanks for setting this all up!

I am using build-emacs-for-macos for a while and it's really nice.

However, I didn't manage to compile with Cairo and Harfbuzz. They should be default, but even if I explicitly pass --with-harfbuzz and --with-cairo to configFlags it won't be compiled with them.

How may I compile with Harfbuzz and Cairo?

The README says that code sign instructions are coming soon. Even a pointer to what you have to set up and pass to the go run ./cmd/emacs-builder package would be great!

I'm building on an M1 machine, otherwise I would slack off and use the Homebrew cask.

macos big sur 11.3.1

./build-emacs-for-macos
==> INFO: Fetching info for git ref: master
ERROR: Failed to get commit info about: master

I have tried numerous "Known Good Commits" to no avail on Big Sur. I did a clean install of Big Sur, installed homebrew (using the bundle), and most of the builds succeed in compilation, but launching emacs results in:

Native compiler error: (lambda (arg1 &optional) (let ((f #'yes-or-no-p)) (funcall f arg1))), Compiling /Users/powellb/.config/emacs/eln-cache/28.0.50-x86_64-apple-darwin20.1.0-49f57b89165c34ed2376cdf316ba8250/subr--trampoline-7965732d6f722d6e6f2d70_yes_or_no_p_0.eln...
ld: library not found for -lgcc_ext.10.5
libgccjit.so: error: error invoking gcc driver

The interesting thing is that fd9e9308d27138a16e2e93417bd7ad4448fea40a works fine. After that, none of them work for me.

I am invoking them exactly as in jimeh's list:

./build-emacs-for-macos --git-sha be907b0ba82c2a65e0468d50653cae8a7cf5f16b feature/native-comp

Everything proceeds and works as normal; however, once launched, when emacs tries to use the native-compiler it fails with the above.

Any one else experiencing this? Why would the one commit work but the others fail?

As an aside, libgccjit seems to be working fine. I have built the standard smoketest without issue, etc. It is only the commits after fd9e9308d27138a16e2e93417bd7ad4448fea40a that fail for me.

Not sure if this happens to others but giving a heads up that my build on arm64 Sonoma crashed until I signed the app using the included go signer. Maybe Apple changed something in this latest version related to unsigned apps. Maybe want to add that in docs if others are experiencing this.

Anyway, I'm up and running now. Thanks for this awesome script! Love the speed of native compilation and that this is a pure edition.

Hi there!
I have built Emacs from source using your script, concretely one of your "Known good commits".
As is common with MacOS, after Catalina, there is a ton more security involved in folder handling, and for Emacs there is no exception. When trying to access any folder (dired really) using "Emacs.app", emacsclient or emacs commands, I get following error:
insert-directory: Listing directory failed but ‘access-file’ worked

The emacs --version command outputs:

Following the subsequent resources, I have tried the following:

• Give full disk access to Emacs.app: reddit post
• Give full disk access to Ruby (both /usr/bin/ruby and /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/ruby)

There is also Chris' post, but the workaround cannot be applied, considering we do not have any binary (besides Emacs) in the /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS folder.

I would love some comment on this issue. It has surprised my not seeing any active issues on the matter in the repo, does anyone has had trouble with this?

Hi there,

I have a currently working Emacs master build running the main script, and I can run the application from spotlight. Nevertheless, I don't see an Emacs.app in the /Applications folder. Where is this linked from? My questions comes from not having the emacs and emacsclient cli commands available.

I'll provide additional details as necessary.
Thanks for your work.

Hi! Thanks for this nice and easy to use tool, I replaced my shell script with it :)

I wanted to look into the code of kill-buffer and got an error that sources could not be found.
I saw this in site-start.el

;; Allow Emacs to find bundled C sources.
(setq source-directory (expand-file-name ".."))

So it seems when this gets executed the working directory is my user directory. ("/Users/name")

Running the command

./build-emacs-for-macos --git-sha 7a8370ed0f

compiled Emacs successfully AFAICT but failed here:

==> INFO: Creating symlinks within Emacs.app needed for native-comp
==> INFO: Embedding libraries into Emacs.app

I was able to work around it with the following patch, but this is kludgy and probably not a desirable solution:

Hello, after running ./build-emacs-for-macos I got this:

cp: cannot stat '/opt/homebrew/opt/expat/lib/libexpat.1.dylib': No such file or directory

New libgccjit brew package now contains dylib instead of so, and configure cannot find gccjit compatibility anymore, and emacs-28 build fails.
Already compiled emacs obviously doesn't work anymore either.

master branch build succeeds though.
