Re: problem with self-contained emacs

Sorry for the late reply, I was out of the country.

Does anyone else have an idea about this.  I know the problem is 
related to init_mac_osx_environment (sp?) and other people have gotten 
it to work.

Thanks,

I build emacs with --prefix=/none

When it complains that 

Warning: Lisp directory `/none/share/emacs/21.3.50/site-lisp' does not exist.
Warning: Lisp directory `/none/share/emacs/site-lisp' does not exist.
Warning: Lisp directory `/none/share/emacs/21.3.50/leim' does not exist.
Warning: Lisp directory `/none/share/emacs/21.3.50/lisp' does not exist.

I know that I can safely ignore these warnings.

This is only a workaround of course. And '/none' does not exist.

I once got the same problem. You get it when you first build emacs from
the main directory, and the run make-package from the mac directory, I
think. The first step inserts /usr/local/share/emacs/21.3.50/.. in a
couple of variables.

I now do the configure and if necessary a make bootstrap in the main
directory and then run make-package as:

./make-package --no-conf --self-contained --build-in-place
