Nightly custom Emacs builds for macOS Nix environments

Nightly custom Emacs builds for macOS Nix environments

This repository provides nightly automated builds of Emacs from HEAD for macOS Nix environments with the following additions:

• Native Compilation (gccemacs)
• X Widgets (Webkit) support
• libvterm
• Patched window role to work nicely with yabai

Recent Changes

The no-titlebar frame patch has been removed, as it can be implemented with pure Emacs Lisp by putting the following early on during initialization (e.g. in early-init.el):

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(undecorated . t))

See d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#433 (comment) for further background.

Usage

To use this flake on your system, add it to your configuration inputs & overlays.
It overlays the pkgs.emacs package.
There is a complimentary binary cache available which is pushed to nightly.

{
  inputs.darwin.url = "github:lnl7/nix-darwin";
  inputs.emacs.url = "github:cmacrae/emacs";

  outputs = { self, darwin, emacs }: {
    darwinConfigurations.example = darwin.lib.darwinSystem {
      modules = [
        {
          nix.binaryCaches = [
            "https://cachix.org/api/v1/cache/emacs"
          ];

          nix.binaryCachePublicKeys = [
