This is exactly because the existence of `lib-src' in= the same directory
where `etc' exists: please read `init_cmdargs' in ma= in.c.  The inexistence
causes Emacs not setting `installation-direc= tory' to a proper value but
leaving it nil, so later in the Emacs' start= ing up process `doc-directory'
is left the one in nt\paths.h.

If = you create `lib-src' in $(OBJDIR) and copy the file buildobj.lst into etc,<= br>it will not use the "hardcoded paths" and use the correct path instead.<= br>
