I guess it's not possible to compile Emacs, archive it, move to another machine and there "make install" to the desired prefix? The purpose of this is to allow for fast installations and at the same time allow for multiple Emacs version. So that will not work with "/usr/local/emacs". I guess I could do: $ ./configure --prefix /usr/local/emacs-x.y.z --without-all --without-x $ make bootstrap $ tar ... ... move to another system $ make install That would mean a larger tar-file. But I guess I could "make install" on the compile system and then tar "/usr/local/emacs-x.y.z". Still... seems a bit weird that this limitation exists. Maybe there's a good reason for it?
