This is my emacs setup. It's my effort to build a fresh dot-emacs. I have taken some bits from @febuiles and others.
Note: This works for GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.3.0, NS apple-appkit-1187.37) on 2016-10-27.
The idea was heavily inspired by a serie of posts from @avdi's blog, that were on my reading list for so long.
The first step is to download it!
$ git clone -b master git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git
Then you need to run the autogen.sh and the configure scripts
cd emacs
./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh git
./configure --with-ns`
Note: The --with-ns flag is to use NeXTstep (Cocoa or GNUstep) windowing system
Almost done!.
You need to run make install instead of just make, to force the
creation of the *.app, once you are done with the make you will be
available to drag and drop the nextstep/Emacs.app folder to any
desired install location.
That's all!
Note: The last version that I were using of Emacs was the 22, looks like a lot changed.
It has a lot of batteries included
- Ido mode, yes!, you just need to add
(require 'ido)and(ido-mode t)to your init file. - Some themes, for example
(load-theme 'wombat). - Package, you don't need to install anything to start using the ELPA.
- Electric modes, I'm using the electric-indent-mode and the electric-pair-mode.
- And probably more, but for now are the included things that I'm using.
- Ahh, I also forgot that since I installed Mountain Lion. I got some weird behavior with the emacs window system, that don't allow me to tab between applications back and forth as usual. This problem was completely solved with the compilated version of emacs 24. The emacs 22 that I used was Carbon Emacs if I'm not wrong.
- Add something for rails dev (rinari?).
- Look into im, mailing, ... blogging options.
