update

I reinstalled Emacs and it is now at the latest version:

$ brew upgrade --cask emacs
Warning: Not upgrading emacs, the latest version is already installed

When I install mu, I see that it installs emacs again:

==> Installing mu dependency: emacs
...
==> ./configure --enable-locallisppath=/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp --infodir=/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/28.1/share/info/emacs --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/28.1 --with-gnutls --without-x 
==> make                                
==> make install
==> emacs cask is installed, skipping link.
Error: Failed to install service files
🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/emacs/28.1: 4,093 files, 110.1MB, built in 5 minutes 35 seconds

So maybe that is the issue: how can I install a single version of emacs for the GUI and the command-line?

Mu fails to install and Mu4e fails to start: /usr/local/opt/emacs not present or broken

I upgraded mu and emacs and now mu4e stopped working.

I removed Emacs with:

brew uninstall --force emacs
brew uninstall --force homebrew/cask/emacs

and mu with:

brew uninstall mu

Then I installed emacs again with:

$ brew install homebrew/cask/emacs

Error: An exception occurred within a child process:

Please reinstall emacs. Sorry :(

I also upgraded command-line tools with:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install

but I still see that message about an old version of command-line tools.

mu complains that /usr/local/opt/emacs is missing, which it is.

Following a question from a few years ago, I also tried:

EMACS=$(which emacs) brew install mu --HEAD

and I get the same error.

When I launch Emacs, I see:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘...’:

File is missing: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, mu4e

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace. Disable showing Disable logging

This last error usually happens when /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu/mu4e/ is missing, but I checked that it does exist on my system:

$ ls /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu/mu4e/
Makefile.am TODO        fdl.texi    mu4e-about.org  mu4e-meta.el.in mu4e.texi

The last thing I could try, but which is troublesome for me at the moment, is to reinstall and upgrade the OS because Brew and Apple no longer support 10.14.

Before reinstalling, is there anything else I could try to make mu and mu4e work on Emacs?

osx mu4e
