Hi everyone,
I was trying to install Emacs 23 from CVS on a Scientific Linux 4
machine and ran into some problems. I am limited with write permissions
to only my home area and the /scratchdisk. So I checked out the CVS tree
in a directory in /scratchdisk and built emacs using
$ ./configure
$ make bootstrap
Then I edited the Makefile to use ${prefix}=/scratchdisk/myfolder and ran
$ make install
But this fails as make tries to install _some_ files in /usr/local/share/
How do I ask make to install everything in /scratchdisk/myfolder ? Also
can I remove my build directory after `make install' succeeds? (short on
disk space)
Thanks for any pointers.
