<h3 class="section">12.2 GNU Emacs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Although the Free Software Foundation has many enlightened practices
|
|
regarding Makefiles and software installation (see see <a href="Other-FSF-Software.html#Other-FSF-Software">Other FSF Software</a>), Emacs, its flagship program, doesn't quite follow the
|
|
rules. In particular, most GNU software allows you to write:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="example"> make
|
|
make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/<var>package</var>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p class="noindent">If you try this with Emacs, then the new value for <var>prefix</var> in the
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">make install</span></samp>’ step will cause some files to get recompiled with
|
|
the new value of <var>prefix</var> wired into them. In Emacs 19.23 and
|
|
later,<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a>
|
|
the way to work around this problem is:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="example"> make
|
|
make install-arch-dep install-arch-indep prefix=/usr/local/stow/emacs
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>In 19.22 and some prior versions of Emacs, the workaround was:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="example"> make
|
|
make do-install prefix=/usr/local/stow/emacs
|
|
</pre>
