My Mac Mini runs Mac OS 10.4.11.
1. get latest sources from CVS
2. `./configure --with-ns`
3. `make`
4. `make install`
5. copy `nextstep/Emacs.app` to your Applications directory
6. …

Unfortunately...
I had to call the *Preferences* dialog and switch **Alt/Opt to None** as well as **Command to Meta**. That’s what I’m used to from the good ol’ CarbonEmacsPackage, and I see no other setup that will allow me to type Alt-3 to get #, Alt-5 to get [, Alt-6 to get ], Alt-7 to get |, Alt-8 to get `{`, and Alt-9 to get `}`. At least those seem to be the ones I need the most often.
If you run rcirc you will have to port your configuration over to the new format. 🙁
rcirc-startup-channels-alist is replaced by rcirc-server-alist.
Old:
(setq rcirc-startup-channels-alist
'(("freenode" "#emacs" "#rcirc" "#wiki" "#oddmuse" "#epfarms"
"#hcoop")))
New:
(setq rcirc-server-alist
'(("irc.freenode.net" :channels ("#rcirc" "#wiki" "#oddmuse" "#epfarms"
"#emacs" "#hcoop"))))
If you’re using rcircColoredNicks you will also have to upgrade to the version for Emacs 23.
My current Emacs version also has some bugs regarding color-gray-p and face-foreground. That’s why you’ll need the following in your .emacs:
(setq rcirc-colors
(let (candidates)
(dolist (item color-name-rgb-alist)
(destructuring-bind (color r g b) item
(let ((d (sqrt (+ (* (/ r 512) (/ r 512))
(* (/ g 512) (/ g 512))
(* (/ b 512) (/ b 512))))))
(if (and (not (= r g))
(not (= r b)); grey
(> d 10)
(< d 150))
(setq candidates (cons color candidates))))))
candidates))

In my build from CVS, i get following error on startup (after loading of all my packages) - “Wrong type argument: wholenump, -1”

Strange; I did not have that problem (and I’m not updating right now).

When I tried to rebuild it just now, it was complaining about a missing `aclocal-1.14` and I was confused. Reading `INSTALL.REPO` I figured I would need to run `./autogen.sh` again and so it was.
These days:
1. git pull
2. .*autogen.sh*
3. .*configure with-ns*
4. make
5. make install
6. copy nextstep/Emacs.app to your Applications directory
The alternative to building from source:
1. brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport
2. brew install emacs-mac
