(ansi-color-process-output): Use markers instead of positions for start and end of region. (ansi-color-apply-on-region): Rewrote code to make it more robust. Previously, occasional mistakes happend when fontifying many chunks of output (eg. ls --color=yes /dev). This happened whenever an overlay was created up to the end of the region, which coincided with the process-mark. New text would then be added within that overlay instead of after it. (ansi-color-make-extent): Overlays are created with the property `modification-hooks' set to '(ansi-color-freeze-overlay). (ansi-color-freeze-overlay): New function. When inserting text at the end of the overlay, the overlay will resize. (ansi-color-process-output): Doc change. (ansi-color-unfontify-region): Doc change. No longer installed automatically in font-lock-unfontify-region-function. (ansi-color-apply): Doc change. (ansi-color-apply-on-region): Use extents or overlays instead of text-properties. (ansi-color-make-extent): New function. (ansi-color-set-extent-face): New function. (ansi-color-process): Removed, Emacs and XEmacs both use ansi-color-process-output, now. (ansi-color-process-output): Doesn't return string anymore. It is installed in comint-output-filter-functions for both Emacs and XEmacs, now. (ansi-color-unfontify-region): Simplified code removing variables pos and start-ansi. (ansi-color-apply): Put text-property ansi-color before putting text-property face because ansi-color-unfontify-region is called immediately after the call to put-text-property. (ansi-color-context-region): Doc change. (ansi-color-filter-region): Simplified code. (ansi-color-apply-on-region): Changed start to start-marker, using a marker explicitly. Put text-property ansi-color before putting text-property face because ansi-color-unfontify-region is called immediately after the call to put-text-property. (ansi-color-faces-vector): Doc change. (ansi-color-for-comint-mode): Changed :type property to choice. (ansi-color-last-context): Removed. (ansi-color-process-output): Don't use ansi-color-last-context, as the main functions will store their context now. (ansi-color-context): Doc change. (ansi-color-filter-apply): Rewrote it based on ansi-color-apply. Uses ansi-color-context such that repeated calls will strip partial escape sequences, too. (ansi-color-apply): Simplified code. Colorize end of string if face is not null. Store context in new (FACE STRING) format, such that repeated calls will strip partial escape sequences, too. Append faces to face property using ansi-color-apply-sequence such that cumulative mode actually works. (ansi-color-context-region): New variable. (ansi-color-filter-region): Rewrote it based on ansi-color-apply-on-region. Uses ansi-color-context-region such that repeated calls will strip partial escape sequences, too. (ansi-color-apply-on-region): Simplified code. Colorize end of region if face is not null. Store context in new (FACE POS) format, such that repeated calls will strip partial escape sequences, too. Append faces to face property using ansi-color-apply-sequence such that cumulative mode actually works. (ansi-color-apply-sequence): New function. (ansi-color-get-face): When the default face is added to the list of faces, all previous settings are discarded and the list of faces is set to '(default). (ansi-color-faces-vector): Use nil for the default face, such that ansi-color-apply and ansi-color-apply-on-region will do the right thing. (ansi-color-apply): Do the right thing, ie. if ansi-color-get-face returns nil, set the list of faces back to nil instead of appending the result of ansi-color-get-face to the front of the list. (ansi-color-for-comint-mode): Doc change. (ansi-color-process): Doc change. (ansi-color-last-context): New buffer-local variable. (ansi-color-process-output): New function. It is automatically added to comint-output-filter-functions if this is XEmacs. (ansi-color-unfontify-region): New optional parameter for XEmacs compatibility. Check wether font-lock-syntactic-keywords is boundp before removing the syntax table text property, as XEmacs doesn't have it. (ansi-color-filter-region): Doc change. (ansi-color-apply-on-region): Doc change. (ansi-color-make-face): New function. Compatibility layer for XEmacs. Return temporary faces instead of cons cells for XEmacs. (ansi-color-make-color-map): Use ansi-color-make-face. (ansi-color-get-face): Avoid face text property '(nil) as results in an errow for XEmacs. (ansi-color-unfontify-region): New function. Uses text-property ansi-color in order to preserve fontification by ansi-color. When the package is loaded, a lambda expression is put onto font-lock-mode-hook. This lambda expression will check font-lock-unfontify-region-function and replace font-lock-default-unfontify-region with ansi-color-unfontify-region. (ansi-color-apply): Add text-property ansi-color in addition to text-property face. (ansi-color-apply-on-region): Add text-property ansi-color in addition to text-property face. (save-buffer-state): Copy of the macro that is also used by lazy-lock and font-lock. (ansi-color-for-comint-mode): New option. (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on): Set ansi-color-for-comint-mode. (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-off): Ditto. (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-filter): Ditto. (ansi-color-process): New function. Uses ansi-color-for-comint-mode to decide what to do. This function is added to comint-preoutput-filter-functions when the package is loaded. (ansi-color-for-shell-mode-set): Removed. (ansi-color-for-shell-mode): Removed. (ansi-color-for-shell-mode-set): New function with the lambda expression from the ansi-color-for-shell-mode :set property. Additionally, modify shell-mode-hook to enable or disable font-lock-mode for future shell buffers. (ansi-color-for-shell-mode): The :set property calls ansi-color-for-shell-mode-set instead of a lambda expression. (ansi-color-for-shell-mode): Doc change. (ansi-color-context): New variable. (ansi-color-apply): Save context between calls.

* BUILDING EMACS ON THE MAC OS     -*- outline -*-

You can use either Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or 6 or MPW-GM
(Aug. 2000) to build Emacs.  MPW-GM can be downloaded free of charge
from Apple at

  http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/

You will need MPW-GM to build the make-docfile utility and to generate
the doc string file DOC.

To decompress files, you can use MacGzip from

  http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/~spd/gzip

and to untar them, you can use tar 4.0 from

  http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/tar-40b.hqx

(Optional) If you wish to fetch files from the Emacs CVS repository
directly to your Mac, you can use the CVS client MacCVS, which can be
downloaded from

  http://www.wincvs.org/

(Optional) A subset of the fonts from the GNU intlfonts-1.2
distribution converted to NFNT format can be obtained from

  ftp://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net/pub/mac-emacs/GNU-fonts.smi.bin

* BUILDING EMACS

To build Emacs in the MPW Shell, simply set the directory to
...:emacs:mac: and build the target Emacs of the make file
makefile.mpw.  I.e., execute the commands

  make Emacs -f makefile.MPW > Emacs.MakeScript
  Emacs.MakeScript

To build Emacs using CodeWarrior, start up the CodeWarrior IDE, choose
File->Import Project...  and select the file cw5-mcp.xml or
cw6-mcp.xml, depending on which verison of CodeWarrior used.  When
prompted to save the project, navigate to same directory as the file
cw[56]-mcp.xml, name it emacs-cw5.mcp or emacs-cw6.mcp, and save it
there.  Then choose Project->Make.  Note that this does not build the
DOC file.  To do so, use MPW and build the target "Doc" in
makefile.MPW.

Once built, the Emacs application (Emacs CW or Emacs MPW) can be
launched where it is created.

To build an optimized version of Emacs in CodeWarrior, change the
value in the Emacs Settings->Code Generation->Global Optimization
dialog.  To build a version for profiling, check the Profiler
Information box in the Emacs Settings->Code Generation->PPC Processor
dialog and include the Profiler PPC.Lib library.

To build optimized or debugging version of Emacs in MPW, follow the
comment in makefile.MPW to enable the -opt speed or -sym on option
(see note below).

The Mac version requires compiled Lisp files to be present in the lisp
directory to run properly.  It is cumbersome to bootstrap from only
the Lisp source files.  One way of getting the compiled Lisp files is
to build Emacs once on, say, a Unix system and transfer that directory
to the Mac.  Note that linefeed conversion must be disabled when
transferring compiled Lisp files.

An alternative is to unzip and untar the archive lisp-elc.tgz.  An
older version of frame.elc in the archive may cause a problem when the
Mac version starts up.  If this is the case, simply remove or rename
that file.  Then once Emacs runs, you can invoke
byte-recompile-directory on the lisp directory to byte-compile all
out-of-date Lisp files.

You may also need to run update-autoloads-from-directories on the lisp
directory to bring loaddefs.el up-to-date.

* NOTES

Emacs should build and run on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.1 - 9.0.

You will need around 100 MB of disk space for the source files and
intermediate files.

It will not run on machines with more than 256 MB of physical or
virtual memory.

Currently there is no support for building the LEIM directory on the
Mac.  However, it can be built on another platform and transferred to
the Mac.

When Emacs is built with "-opt speed" enabled in makefile.MPW,
optimization causes the functions reset_buffer_local_variables in
buffer.c and syms_of_lread in lread.c to crash.  Avoid this by
enclosing them in the following pragmas.

  #pragma options opt off

  <function definition...>

  #pragma options opt reset

To use the same icon as when Emacs is built on Windows NT, define
GNU_ICON in mac/src/Emacs.r.
