22 Though it seems odd, it hasn't bothered me much, since there is an easy
23 workaround. You have Emacs-24.app in ${EPREFIX}/Application/Gentoo if
24 USE=aqua. You have to copy it into ~/Applications (or /Applications
25 etc. if you prefer). Then, you can invoke it via open command.
26 $ cp -a ${EPREFIX}/Applications/Gentoo/Emacs-24.app ~/Applications/Emacs.app
27 $ open -a Emacs
28 This is how I use emacs on OS X for years.
