[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs status update

[Braun, Michael]

Win:

I’d like to help, as a way to develop some stronger coding skills.   Two questions:

1.  It appears there is still a problem with building Aquamacs from source on Catalina.  This morning I got the error below after ./build-aquamacs.

2.  Is there a test suite or unit test setup in place?

Thanks,

Michael

Is there any desire to produce a pdf book in the style of the Emacs manual with a focus on Aquamacs and macOS differences? I could put my LaTeX blundering to good use there. <grin>
