Building Terminal Emacs on OS X

Building a terminal version of Emacs on OS X is easy. However it took me quite a bit of time to land on the correct incantation:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --without-x --without-sound --prefix=/usr/local
$ make bootstrap
$ sudo make install

OS X comes with outdated versions of autoconf and automake tools so you may have to update those first.
