Yes, I didn't miss that; my question was more in the direction: Should this be changed, while we're at it? > Personally, I don't think "binary files" is that bad a choice of words > for Windows users, because those aren't expected to be familiar with > Unix-style installation trees. Why not taking the part from INSTALL file I sent up-thread, adjust it to Windows and change this part? Do you want me to make a suggestion? >> P.S.: I admit I've never used '--exec-prefix' in addition to '--prefix'. > > There's no --exec-prefix in the text, is there? No, I meant: I know what '--prefix' on Windows does, but can't tell about '--exec-prefix' since I've never used it. Best, Arash
