Running under X11 as well as natively? #49

Closed haase closed 2 years ago

haase commented 8 years ago

I'd like to launch emacs under X11 when I'm ssh'd into the machine and DISPLAY is set correctly (for example, xterm works). However, it doesn't do so and even when I specify display directly (with -d, as described in the --help message), it just runs in the terminal or pops up on my Mac's screen (depending on which executable I use). Am I doing something wrong? Or do I need to build my own version of Emacs with the X11 support as well as the native windowing support?

The Emacs builds currently don't build with X11 support (since Mac OS X doesn't ship with X11 libs). I wouldn't mind including them, but I need to get off my butt and get .app local dylibs working. One day...
