You could use: $ ./configure --without-all --without-x $ make bootstrap $ tar ... ... move to another system $ make install prefix=/where/ever/I/like Actually, you could also install it "anywhere" and then copy the installed files to /where/ever/I/like. Emacs will have a bit of trouble finding its files, but there is code in Emacs already to try and find its own files in such situations (used for the Windows and OS X builds, IIRC), and I'd welcome a patch which extends this to GNU/Linux (especially if it can reuse/consolidate the existing code).
