|
|
|
<p>Although the Free Software Foundation has many enlightened practices
|
|
regarding Makefiles and software installation (see see <a class="pxref" href="Other-FSF-Software.html">Other FSF Software</a>), Emacs, its flagship program, doesn’t quite follow the
|
|
rules. In particular, most GNU software allows you to write:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example-preformatted">make
|
|
make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/<var class="var">package</var>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you try this with Emacs, then the new value for <var class="var">prefix</var> in the
|
|
‘<samp class="samp">make install</samp>’ step will cause some files to get recompiled with
|
|
the new value of <var class="var">prefix</var> wired into them. In Emacs 19.23 and
|
|
later,<a class="footnote" id="DOCF8" href="#FOOT8"><sup>8</sup></a>
|
|
the way to work around this problem is:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example-preformatted">make
|
|
make install-arch-dep install-arch-indep prefix=/usr/local/stow/emacs
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 19.22 and some prior versions of Emacs, the workaround was:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example-preformatted">make
|
|
make do-install prefix=/usr/local/stow/emacs
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="footnotes-segment">
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<h4 class="footnotes-heading">Footnotes</h4>
|
|
|
|
<h5 class="footnote-body-heading"><a id="FOOT8" href="#DOCF8">(8)</a></h5>
|
|
<p>As I write this, the current version of Emacs is 19.31.</p>
