           (fboundp 'mac-get-current-input-source))
  (when (version< "27.0" emacs-version)
    ;; Required for some cases when auto detection is failed or the locale is "en".
    (custom-set-variables
     '(mac-default-input-source "com.google.inputmethod.Japanese.base")))
  (mac-input-method-mode 1))

Build scripts

For your convenience, some build scripts are provided. Before you run the script, please run setup.sh first.

sh ./build/setup.sh
sh ./build/emacs-29.sh

If your environment for building Emacs is under PROXY, you can use emacs-mirror to get Emacs source codes. Please change the URL of the git repository specified in emacs-head.sh and emacs-29.sh if needed.

Pre-built distribution package

You can download my pre-built Emacs 26.3, 27.1, 27.2, 28.1, 28.2, 29.1, 29.2, 29.3, 29.4 and HEAD with ns-inline patch. Emacs.app will be installed under /Applications/Emacs-takaxp in your macOS. The pkg contains GnuTLS and jansson. These packages are signed and notarized with my Apple developer ID: H2PH8KNN3H.

Emacs 30x (with inline patch) !unstable!

These packages are built based on the current development source code. So it may be unstable or broken.

You can also try to use an Emacs supporting NativeComp by downloading pkg from the following links. Integrated lisp code are natively compiled so the pkg size is increased compared to that of the normal pkg file.

Currently, installing gcc by brew is required to compile additional lisp code by the installed Emacs. And adding the following configuration will be needed to your early-init.el or beginning of init.el when you face a warning like Warning (comp): libgccjit.so: error: error invoking gcc driver.
