[OS X Emacs] Building Aquamacs 3.0a on OSX 10.5.8 Leopard

[Robert L. Kirby]

A "Changes--Aquamacs3.0a" list item of the downloads page <
http://aquamacs.org/download.shtml> says:
Aquamacs 3.0 is distributed as a binary for 64-bit Intel Macs only.  If you
would like to run Aquamacs on a 32-bit Mac, or a PowerPC based Mac, you may
still build it yourself from source, or use Aquamacs 2.5.

I hope to use a recent version of the CIDER package for Clojure 1.4.0 (or
1.5.0) on JVM 1.5. However, my 64-bit, Intel-Core-2-Duo MacBookPro4,1
running OSX 10.5.8 (leopard) cannot compile Aquamacs3.0a yet. Aquamacs2.4
can compile.

Installed xcode 3.1.4 from Mac OS X 10.5 installation DVD.
Installed git version 1.7.5.4 (from git-1.7.5.4-x86_64-leopard.dmg)
Installed autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69 from the GNU web site (not
MacPorts), shadowing 2.61.
Installed automake (GNU automake) 1.14 from the GNU web site (not
MacPorts), shadowing 1.10.
git clone git://github.com/davidswelt/aquamacs-emacs.git (1.40 GiB on
August 27, 2014).
cd aquamacs-emacs
git clean -d -x -f
git checkout Aquamacs-3.0a
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.5"
./build-aquamacs
...
(which after many signedness warnings stops with an Objective-C error in
src/nsfns.m)

git diff Aquamacs-2.4 Aquamacs-3.0a src/nsfns.m
...
- // [[FRAME_NS_VIEW (SELECTED_FRAME ()) window] makeKeyWindow];
- UNBLOCK_INPUT;
+ [panel beginSheetModalForWindow:[FRAME_NS_VIEW (SELECTED_FRAME ()) window]
+ completionHandler:
+ ^(NSInteger result) {
+ [((EmacsApp *) NSApp) savePanelDidEnd2: panel returnCode:result
contextInfo:current_buffer];
+
+ }];
+ // to do: move code from savePanelDidEnd2 here
+
...

The most recent MacPorts and GNU version numbers of autoconf and automake
were the same.
