Emacs fails to display screen on graphics

[iwahbe]

I did my first load and build following the given instructions:
$ brew install gnutls texinfo autoconf
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --enable-rust-debug
$ make
$ RUST_BACKTRACE=1 src/remacs -q

I didn't see any error messages, but I only get the blank screen. The graphics window is responsive. I can do things like M-x and the top of the screen changes from*GNU Emacs* to *Minibuf-1*. The scroll bars appear and scroll, and I can use them to derive I can split windows using M-x 2 and M-x 3.
I have not seen a working version, so I can't give a full repo. I'm running a 2016 13-inch mac book pro on macOS Mojave 10.14.5 (18F132). I would be happy to provide any other info, if requested.

to test safely it is src/remacs -Q that is a capital Q not a lower case q.

I just did a build on 10.13.6 all is well here. We had issues on Mojave a little while back but I thought they were resolved.

I just repeated the test with src/remacs -Q. I got the same result.

I am getting the same thing on my local build. I can run elisp in batch mode but there is no display.

Grumble. Looks like we need to do something for the current MacOS. I have avoid upgrading due to work apps as well.

FYI there's no problem with upstream as of emacs-mirror/emacs@da0f8db - the weird thing is there's nothing in logs nor trace. I'll try merging upstream locally and see if that helps :)

I'm seeing this too, and it looks very similar to the issue #895 too, which was meant to have been fixed, but seems to be back again.

I am seeing this on macOS 10.14.6 and using the latest master branch as of Dec 13.

Same here with macOS 10.15.2 using latest master (239a4fb).

I have started work on what is turning out to be a massive PR that will bring us towards the top of Emacs 26. I am not sure yet how to break it up into manageable pieces. I might post the whole thing and we can all find a way to make it work.

[r4ravi2008]

still facing the same issue, any update on this?

[r4ravi2008]

For anyone still having this issue, starting like this in terminal works fine for me:
src/remacs -nw
I am using doom config with remacs and it works too..

[shaleh]

There are fixes we have not been able to port to remacs yet. Sorry for the frustration.
