Hello,
I'm trying to install emacs_29.1 at a nonstandard location, with the
following commands:
cd src/emacs-29.1
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --prefix=/home/myname/my/custom/emacs29
> --with-native-compilation=aot --with-imagemagick --with-json
> --with-tree-sitter --with-xft --without-compress-install
> make -j 4
and I get an error message because of permission denied while trying to
write under /usr/local (that is where the script stops). In addition,
there are two locations where it says the following:
make -C src BIN_DESTDIR=''/usr/local/bin/'' \
ELN_DESTDIR='/usr/local/lib/emacs/29.1/' all
And I don't think it should be trying to put anything under those two
directories?
This happens twice (please see below the ps under my signature for the full
transcript of "make install" to see the exact context in which it
happens). It seems to be that the --prefix does not override certain
locations that it is supposed to?
Are there other variables I need to set (other than the --prefix option to
configure) that will ensure that the compilation and installation will not
try to write under /usr/local ?
Thanks for any pointers,
Ambrose
ps.
