![]() Warning: arch-independent data dir ‘/Users/build/workspace/Emacs-Multi-Build/label/macos10.14/emacs-source/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/’: No such file or directory Warning: arch-dependent data dir ‘/Users/build/workspace/Emacs-Multi-Build/label/macos10.14/emacs-source/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/’: No such file or directory pdmp procedure after installing 27.1 via Homebrew. ![]() If you’ve been plagued by these problems, I hope this post helped.ĭoes anyone know how to avoid this error when executing /usr/local/bin/emacs (symbolic link to /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs), which is created by Homebrew automatically? I followed the procedure in the original post and additional. In future versions of Emacs, it’s possible that the correct binary might be something other than Emacs-x86_64-10_14. One final caveat: This works for me using homebrew-cask-installed Emacs version 26.3. If you can’t launch Emacs after running these commands, try following the steps in this document from Apple. The last command above removes the code signature from the Emacs binary. Note that, because we have been performing surgery on the Emacs app, its code signature is no longer valid. % cd /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOSĪnd, with that, Emacs should correctly receive its Full Disk Access permission, and Spotlight will correctly bring it to front (n.b., it’s still required to add Emacs to the Full Disk Access section of the security system preferences). % cd /Applications /Emacs.app /Contents / % rm -rf _CodeSignature % cd /Applications /Emacs.app /Contents /MacOS At the Terminal, just run these commands: So, if you simply move it in place of the Emacs launcher script, everything starts working as normal. On Catalina, the Ruby script will always choose to launch the bundled binary Emacs-x86_64-10_14. Emacs can’t be launched again because it is already running, but the running binary doesn’t actually match the Ruby script.Full disk access does not apply to Emacs because the permissions were not granted to /usr/bin/ruby.# but it won't take advantage of any of the features in 10.9.Īlthough this never caused problems on prior versions of macOS, here, it is responsible for both of these issues: If you compile it on 10.6, then it will also run on 10.9, # Emacs on 10.9 then it will contain hard-coded calls to 10.9 APIs and will # feature detection at compile time instead of at run-time. # Why are there multiple x86_64 binaries? Because the Emacs source does OS ![]() # each architecture and Emacs has multiple x86_64 architectures binaries. # Why not just use a fat binary? Because fat binaries can only hold 1 of # binaries for all supported Mac OS X versions. It exists so that there can be a single download that contains # This launcher code is from and is not part of Emacs Unfortunately, this method stopped working, too.Īs it turns out, the binary embedded in Emacs.app is…actually not a binary. It’s often quicker than finding the icon via cmd-tab. I commonly switch between applications on macOS by pressing cmd-space to bring up Spotlight, then the first few letters of the application name, and finally return. Issue 2: Spotlight Can’t Bring Emacs to the Front Solving this is directly related to the second issue that’s been nagging me since the upgrade to Catalina. After doing this, I still couldn’t access my documents folder. It’s pretty easy: Go to the Security section of System Preferences, find Full Disk Access in the list, and then add Emacs:īut…this solution didn’t work. You, the user, can provide this privilege to an application, and it is allowed to access all files that your user would otherwise be able to access. This means that, because it doesn’t even ask for permission, Emacs is simply forbidden from accessing certain files.Īpple did provide an escape hatch: Full Disk Access. Catalina now enforces these permissions at the filesystem APIs, as well. Rather than using APIs to, say, access your contacts, you could just read the contact database via the filesystem. These prompts were displayed when using special APIs designated for those purposes.Īlas, there was an easy way to bypass these prompts. Here’s the gist of why this exists: In a previous version, macOS started displaying user prompts (similar to iOS) to grant application permission for accessing things like contacts, photos, location, etc. This is a ramification of the User Data Protection enhancements that were made in Catalina. Issue 1: I Couldn’t Access Certain FoldersĪfter the upgrade, Emacs was unable to access special folders, like the Documents folder. Here’s a little insight into how I fixed them. Since the upgrade to macOS Catalina, I’ve had two serious annoyances with Emacs.
