18 <h2>MacOS X Emacs hints</h2> |
|
19 |
|
20 <p>Assuming you have an installation of Isabelle on your Mac, |
|
21 there are various possibilites for running ProofGeneral:</p> |
|
22 |
|
23 <ul> |
|
24 <li>You should also be able to launch <a href= |
|
25 "http://proofgeneral.inf.ed.ac.uk/">Proof General</a> by typing |
|
26 <tt class="shellcmd">Isabelle</tt> at the Unix command line. This will invoke the |
|
27 Apple-supplied version of Emacs in a terminal window, providing a primitive |
|
28 environment.</li> |
|
29 <li>Somewhat better is to run Proof General from within a version |
|
30 of Emacs ported as a native Mac OS X application, such as <a href= |
|
31 "http://home.att.ne.jp/alpha/z123/emacs-mac-e.html">MacEmacs JP</a> or |
|
32 <a href="http://mindlube.com/products/emacs/">mindlube's</a> or <a href= |
|
33 "http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/%7efranconi/mac-emacs/">Enhanced Carbon Emacs</a>. |
|
34 Visiting a theory file from Emacs will automatically launch Proof General |
|
35 provided <tt class="shellcmd">isabelle</tt> is on the search path. None of these options |
|
36 support the X-Symbol package, unfortunately.</li> |
|
37 <li>In order to get the full benefit of Proof General, you must install the X |
|
38 Window System (X11) and <a href="http://www.xemacs.org/">XEmacs</a> or |
|
39 <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html">GNU Emacs</a>.</li> |
|
40 <ul> |
|
41 <li> |
|
42 <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/">apple's version of X11</a> |
|
43 is included with the Panther (MacOS X 10.3) installation discs, though it is |
|
44 not installed by default. The Command key serves as Meta, but it is |
|
45 reserved for standard Apple shortcuts such as C, V and X, so you must use |
|
46 Esc-C, Esc-V and Esc-X in Emacs or else deselect »Enable key equivalents« |
|
47 in the X11 preferences.</li> |
|
48 <li>The easiest way to install XEmacs or GNU Emacs is via the package manager |
|
49 <a href="http://fink.sourceforge.net/">Fink</a>. Install the Fink package |
|
50 <tt>xemacs-sumo-pkg</tt> to get the XEmacs libraries that Proof General needs |
|
51 to run. To install GNU Emacs, install the package <tt>emacs21</tt>. Fink can |
|
52 compile from sources, but this takes hours, so it is better to request binary |
|
53 installations.</li> |
|
54 <li>To use <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html">GNU |
|
55 Emacs</a> instead of <a href="http://www.xemacs.org/">XEmacs</a>, you must |
|
56 recompile Proof General and X-Symbol following the instructions <a href= |
|
57 "http://proofgeneral.inf.ed.ac.uk/FAQ">here</a>. Note that Proof General |
|
58 incorporates its own copy of X-Symbol.</li> |
|
59 |
|
60 </ul> |
|
61 </ul> |
|
62 |
|
63 <p>You may want to install this drag-and-drop <a href= |
|
64 "//dist/misc/isabelle_droplet.dmg">Isabelle launcher</a>. It is a simple hack that |
|
65 invokes XEmacs on any files dropped on it.</p> |
|
66 |
|
67 <p>Here is a <a href= |
|
68 "//dist/img/screenshot_isabelle_macos.gif">screenshot</a> showing Proof General running |
|
69 in GNU Emacs.</p> |
