Helm& Aquamacs on MACOSX

[David Hodge]

Hi,

I am trying to install Helm on Mac OSX Mountain Lion using Aquamacs.\

When i attempt to compile helm using the make file it fails.

There are lots of errors and warnings, and not suprisingly, Helm does not load.

I wonder if AquaMacs is not supported?

Output of make is below

If the `declare-function' mechanism is not implemented in Aquamacs, so
yes helm is not supported.
And also many other packages that rely on this.
You should fill a bugreport for Aquamacs or use another Emacs for
Macosx.
This is reported to work fine with helm:

The make file isn't actually using Aquamacs. It's using the default
Emacs in /usr/bin/emacs, which is version 22.1.

Change the Makefile to point to your Auqamacs executable. You may
consider switching to a plain Emacs from emacsformacosx.com anyway.

Thanks guys. I will look into switching I think.
