Specify location of emacs.exe for make recompile?

Specify location of emacs.exe for make recompile?

[Christoph]

Hi,

I compile Emacs inplace and don't install, thus there is no emacs.exe in 
the bin directory. When running `make recompile' on Windows I get an 
error that emacs.exe was not found (in `bin'). I want to say that I read 
somewhere that I can pass an argument to `make' or `configure' that 
tells `make recompile' to look somewhere else for the executable, e.g. 
in `src/oo-spd/i386' but I cannot find the relevant info. Did I remember 
this correctly?

Thanks,
Christoph

Yes.  Like so:

  make recompile EMACS=../src/oo-spd/i386/emacs.exe
