"make install"
OK, thanks. I did briefly consider (but not try) this but assumed
that, by
default, "install" would put Emacs somewhere common like /
Applications, not in
a directory in my personal workspace.
Some message text is output at the end of "configure" detailing what
will happen.
It would make sense to have "install" should behave as you suggest,
however it's also nice to be able to test a newly built Emacs.app
"nondestructively", and the only way to get everything assembled so
this will work is to use make procedures under the "install" target to
do the packaging.
A way to get the best of both worlds would be to add an ns-appdir
configure option which defaults to ./nextstep but could be set to,
e.g., /Applications. Such an option was there before, but I took it
out during the process of simplifying the build and getting rid of the
extra compile script we used to have. Perhaps now would be a good
time to add it back in though.
(Note, if you pass --disable-ns-self-contained, the lisp and other
files will be installed in a common location, but the app still goes
under nextstep/.)
