bug#45086: Bug(?) in repo version of emacs?

[George R Goffe via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

Howdy,

I just built emacs from the source repo at https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git.

My configure options start with:  ./configure --prefix=/usr/lsd/$osname --verbose 

When it came time to do a make install the build results went to /usr/local. There are several Makefiles with "prefix =/usr/local instead of what I asked for in configure /usr/lsd/Linux. I'm building outside the source tree. I did a "git pull" inside the source directory and then ran autogen.sh and then created and cd'd to the external directory where "my" ./configure + options was executed... including make clean depend, make, make install.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have a f ull build log available if you'd like to see it.

Thanks,

George...

Hi,

I goofed and incorrectly reported my goof as a bug when it was NOT.

I got the email below and tried to send mail to "45086@debbugs.gnu.org" to correct and apologize for reporting the goof as a bug but yahoo seems to think this is an invalid email address.

I'm not sure what to do at this fime.

Best regards and STAY SAFE!

I tried to send the email again by re-cut/paste and it worked so another false alarm. Sigh...

I'm going to soak my head now and stop sending emails for a while. Argh.

Best regards,

George...

bug#45086: Bug report was just a UFU (User Foul Up); Sorry to bother you.

[George R Goffe via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

Hi,

I had made several errors in the "configure" script operands and was VERY premature in reporting this as a bug. It's just a UFU.

I apologize for reporting this.

Best regards and STAY SAFE!

Which build products went to /usr/local, and what Makefiles have this
wrong prefix?

That could be part of the reason.
