I just updated to Mojave. I used to use emacs-mac from https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/ but with Mojave I just get blank window for emacs. I also tried emacs-plus and building on my own both which had the same issue.

The installation from https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ and emacs in the terminal seems to work fine. But I need dvisvgm support which neither has.

Please let me know if you would need more information.

HELP!

  • Hmmm ... Mojave was released to the public a few hours ago ... What are the chances that anyone has had a chance test Emacs compatibility ... and/or implement fixes ...? Your best bet would be to open an issue with Mitsuharu Yamamoto .... since that author is already advertising: "This provides a native GUI support for Mac OS X 10.6 - macOS 10.14." – lawlist Sep 25 '18 at 6:27
  • Just curious, how is dvisvgm integrated into the Mituharu san:s version of Emacs? Can it display dvi files in Emacs windows? Is this something for the official Emacs to adapt? – Lindydancer Sep 25 '18 at 14:58

    FWIW, I have been running the Mojave beta for weeks. After installing it, I compiled emacs-mac from source (git clone https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac.git), and it worked fine. But then, I am used to this, having compiled emacs on my own “forever”. It's one of very few software packages I regularly compile myself. – Harald Hanche-Olsen Sep 26 '18 at 7:00
  • Alan Third pushed a commit to the master branch of vanilla Emacs on 09/28/2018: 7946445962372c4255180af45cb7c857f1b0b5fa . I don't have a computer running Mojave, but anyone wanting to give the new patch a try might want to check out the current master branch. – lawlist Oct 1 '18 at 1:02

    Glad you got it to work. This kind of thing is not too unusual when upgrading an OS; it's probably not worth your time to try to get to the bottom of it. BTW, in the interest of housekeeping: If you add a brief answer, saying how you got around the problem, and then accept that answer, this question won't hang around on the site forever as an unanswered question. – Harald Hanche-Olsen Oct 1 '18 at 9:42

I did a fresh installation of mituharu's version (https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/) using brew and now everything works. I had to remove the older version of emacs that I had before starting the installation.
