Emacs.app not found in /Applications #67

Hi there,

I have a currently working Emacs master build running the main script, and I can run the application from spotlight. Nevertheless, I don't see an Emacs.app in the /Applications folder. Where is this linked from? My questions comes from not having the emacs and emacsclient cli commands available.

I'll provide additional details as necessary. Thanks for your work.

This project is just a build script, it doesn't actually install Emacs.app into /Applications. The output of the script should be a *.tbz archive in a builds directory. You need to extract the archive and move/copy Emacs.app to wherever you want it yourself.

Hence I'm closing this issue, but feel free to reply further if you have any questions or need help.

Also, if all you're really after is installing a recent/nightly Emacs.app build, I'd suggest you check my emacs-builds project: https://github.com/jimeh/emacs-builds

It produces new nightly builds every day with GitHub Actions and the build-emacs-for-macos script in this repo. It also provides a set of Homebrew casks to make installation of the builds extra simple. The Homebrew casks is actually how I've been personally installing nightly Emacs 28.x and 29.x builds ever since I started the emacs-builds project.

Hi there!

I finally ended up installing the cask from your emacs-bulids, and it works great. Thanks for your work Jim, keep it up!

Best, Enrique.
