Subject: 25.1; Fresh build on OS X doesn't get keyboard control after spawned
Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2017 21:38:21 -0800

Hello, 

I'm on 862d6438cfa6c6c035033697751f3d002357b024 and built emacs with:
`./configure --without-makeinfo`. This resulted in the binaries under
`src` called `emacs` and `emacs-26.0.50.1`. Now when I start these
binaries in a shell then the GUI does not end up getting the keyboard
control and it continues typing in the shell. In addition, focus never
shifts to the GUI and click on the top bar doesn't change focus to emacs
although I'm able to move the GUI about.

This bug is preventing me for fixing another emacs bug that I found in
the tooltip for emacs on OS X.

These binaries aren't proper application bundles in the macOS sense, so you
can't run them directly. Run
   make install && open nextstep/Emacs.app
instead.

Thank you for the reply. 

But what about developing? I don’t necessarily want to install this on my machine, just to test/debug to fix an emacs bug.

On macOS, 'make install' doesn't actually install anything, it just creates
the application bundle in the nextstep directory.

Should this be documented somewhere?

It's documented in nextstep/INSTALL. "configure" also instructs the user to
run "make install".
Maybe these instructions could additionally mention "open", for users that
want to run the bundle from the command line.
