I assume you have successfully built both of these on OS X. I have
10.2.2, with Developer Tools installed. However my attempts to build
either one failed.

GNU Emacs: 21.2 (which appears to be the most recent public release)
refused even ./configure. I followed Andrew Choi's instructions and got
a later (21.3 beta?) version by CVS; this one ran ./configure but make
eventually failed.

XEmacs: I got 21.4; both configure and make ran fine but gave me a
terminal-like emacs. Apparently couldn't detect any windowing system on
the mac!

Is there any special trick to compiling either of these versions on OSX?
