Why does Emacs not run on Windows 10.6?
Because the Emacs source does OS # feature detection at compile time instead of at run-time. So if you build # Emacs on 10.9 then it will contain hard-coded calls to 10.9 APIs and will # not run on 10.6. If you compile it on 10.6, then it will also run on 10.9, # but it won’t take advantage of any of the features in 10.9.
