Hello,
I recently tried installing emacs-w3m (development version) from
source using the "./configure - make - make install" sequence.
Since I have more than one emacs lisp directory installed (GNU emacs
21 in directory /usr/share/emacs, GNU emacs 23 directory in /opt/local/
share/emacs/, and Cocoa Emacs in /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents), I
explicitly configured file using --with-addpath option, such that "./
configure --with-addpath=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents".
However, upon verifying the install with "make what-where", make only
wants to install in the path where emacs21 is installed (/usr/share/
emacs). To work around this, I tried removing emacs 21 completely,
running make again, and this time it recognized /opt/local/share/emacs
as the install path. Am I missing something here? How can I get make
to recognize and install to the Cocoa Emacs directory?
Thanks,
Dylan

Most configure scripts support the --prefix argument, which allows you
to specify the root of the installation tree. Does the w3 configure
script support that? (./configure -help may list available options).

Hmm, have you tried:
./configure --emacs=/full/path/bin/emacs

Damn, sorry for the double post and the above line should be:
./configure --with-emacs=/full/path/bin/emacs

Try to follow Herbert's suggestion with
./configure --with-emacs=/full/path/bin/emacs
and the full path being something like:
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
This binary inside the APP package is actually what is being executed.
And you can invoke it on the command line as for example:
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --help
