I am limited with write permissions to only my home area and the /scratchdisk. So I checked out the CVS tree in a directory in /scratchdisk and built emacs using $ ./configure $ make bootstrap Then I edited the Makefile to use ${prefix}=/scratchdisk/myfolder and ran $ make install But this fails as make tries to install _some_ files in /usr/local/share/ How do I ask make to install everything in /scratchdisk/myfolder ? Also can I remove my build directory after `make install' succeeds? (short on disk space) Thanks for any pointers. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
