[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hey!

Two things:
1) Emacs 22.3 does not include any executeable files for Mac. When I double-clicked the Emacs.app which is found in emacs-22.3/mac, I get an error message which says "You can't open the application Emacs.app because it may be damaged or incomplete.". When I then checked emacs-22.3/Mac/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS and saw that the executable file was missing. 

2) I tried to install GNU Emacs 22.2 and Emacs 22.3 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (beta), but the "sudo make install" command fails on both versions with 
"make[1]: *** [mac.o] Error 1
make: *** [src] Error 2"
During the make process there are a lot of warnings (and 1 error as I saw) that occured. I've made a log file with the output that was written to the terminal during the ./configure and "make install" processes.

Yes, that's normal.

Could you try the following patch?

Did it work?  I can't test it myself.

To compile Emacs 22.3 Carbon port on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, you
need to apply the patch below and explicitly specify a compiler option
like "CC='gcc -m32' ./configure".  Snow Leopard seems to try to make a
64-bit binary by default and it is not compatible with the GUI
implementation with Carbon.

Alternatively, you can try the Carbon+AppKit port, which contains
several fixes and enhancements that have been made after the Emacs
22.3 release.

Thanks for the report. Emacs 22 is very old and has not been supported
for some time. The latest version is 23.3. Please open new reports for
any issues you have with the new version.
