make failure with .9.8.4 on OS X 10.7.4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am attempting to build mu-0.9.8.4 on OS X 10.7.4. I can successfully 
configure, but make fails with 

In toplevel form:
org-mu4e.el:31:30:Error: Unknown keyword :safe
make[3]: *** [elc-stamp] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory 
`/Volumes/Aequitas/Users/yanokwa/Downloads/mu-0.9.8.4/emacs'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/Volumes/Aequitas/Users/yanokwa/Downloads/mu-0.9.8.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have attached the configure and build logs.

Hmmm... I think that is because mu4e (the emacs frontend) requires emacs 23 or 
24, and MacOS 10.7.4 ships with 22.x (guessing from 
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages
/man1/emacs.1.html)

So if you want the emacs frontend, you'll need to get a later emacs; if you 
don't care about that, try with 'make -k'.

In either case, the configure script should check for the emacs version, so 
I'll add that.

Thanks for the fast response.

make clean and make -k still gives me an error.

I've attached the log, but I believe this is the relevant bit.

Yes, make -k does not prevent the error, it just prevents 'make' from stopping 
when it encounters an error. So this will allow you to build the basic mu; if 
you want the emacs frontend, you'll need a newer emacs.

I have added a specific version check (in the git version, ie. what will become 
0.9.8.5).

Just grabbed the git repo and looks like it's working well. I'll wait until 
0.9.8.5 comes out and I'll submit a patch to MacPorts so everyone gets this 
upgrade.

I'm thinking a default of would be ideal for most.

I guess on MacOS it's not necessary to use any of those parameters explicitly. 
Anyway closing this issue now.
