I'm running the latest beta release of Emacs 24. I can get it to start in daemon mode, however I can't create new consoles or anything. It appears that the -c and -t commands aren't options anymore, even when looking under the help section. Any ideas how to get new frames open with emacsclient?

EDIT

This is for Mac OS X Lion by the way.

Thanks

  • I assume a 'not' is missing in your description. However this is weird, I use the git version and it works. Did you start a emacs daemon with a particular name ? i.e. `emacs --daemon="some-name"`, if so, don't forget to use `emacsclient -s "some-name" -c ...` – Daimrod Dec 06 '11 at 22:39
  • @Daimrod So the version I'm using is from: [http://bandwidth.porkrind.org/emacs-builds/Emacs-pretest-24.0.91-universal-10.6.7.dmg](http://bandwidth.porkrind.org/emacs-builds/Emacs-pretest-24.0.91-universal-10.6.7.dmg) I'm not starting it up with a particular name or anything. Here are the options i get when doing: emacsclient --help -> The following OPTIONS are accepted: -V, -H, -e, -n, -d, -s, -f, -a, So no -c or -t options. Not sure why... I just saw a new build in November so I'll try that one and comment if it has the options. [EDIT] Downloaded the new version. Still no -c/-t –  Dec 07 '11 at 07:26
  • It's weird, I think you should probably send an email to the author of this build. You can also try to build your own version from CVS (a git and a bzr repo are available). – Daimrod Dec 07 '11 at 08:37
  • So I installed the latest nightly build for Mac and the options still aren't there... I don't get it. Running emacsclient from /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin gives nothing of the sort. Could it be because they seem to be building on 10.6.8 and not on 10.7? Blah... Anyone know? –  Dec 07 '11 at 09:16

Looks like it was still running the old emacsclient that came preinstalled with Mac OS X as opposed to the new one in Emacs24..
