May I ask why the text above talks about "the resulting binary files"? For me, the '--prefix' option behaves on Windows the same way it does on Unix systems, as described in the INSTALL file[1]: The '--prefix=PREFIXDIR' option specifies where the installation process should put emacs and its data files. This defaults to '/usr/local'. - Emacs (and the other utilities users run) go in PREFIXDIR/bin (unless the '--exec-prefix' option says otherwise). - The architecture-independent files go in PREFIXDIR/share/emacs/VERSION (where VERSION is the version number of Emacs, like '23.2'). - The architecture-dependent files go in PREFIXDIR/libexec/emacs/VERSION/CONFIGURATION (where CONFIGURATION is the configuration name, like i686-pc-linux-gnu), unless the '--exec-prefix' option says otherwise. Best, Arash P.S.: I admit I've never used '--exec-prefix' in addition to '--prefix'. Footnotes: [1] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/INSTALL#n423
