Many programs which may run under Emacs, like latex or man, depend on the
settings of environment variables. If Emacs is launched from the shell, it
will automatically inherit these environment variables and its subprocesses
will inherit them from it. But if Emacs is launched from the Finder it
is not a descendant of any shell, so its environment variables haven't been
set which often causes the subprocesses it launches to behave differently than

Emacs can be built and run under GNUstep however building is difficult and
there are some limitations to functionality. In particular, it may be
necessary to run @samp{make bootstrap} with a plain X configuration, then
@samp{make clean} and @samp{./configure --with-ns} followed by @samp{make
install}.

Currently CANNOT_DUMP is automatically enabled in GNUstep configurations,
because the unex file(s) for GNUstep, mainly @samp{unexelf.c}, have not been
updated yet with the ``zone'' code in and related to @samp{unexmacosx.c}.
