[AUCTeX-devel] Problem with Empty Dirs

[Ivan Savov]

Hello Sirs,

I just pulled the latest XEmacs and the MinGW stuff in order to setup
preview-latex which seems like the coolest thing since sliced bread.

I followed the instructions and adapted them to my paths:

./configure --with-xemacs='C:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.4.13\i586-pc-win
32\xemacs'   --with-texmf-dir='E:/localtexmf' --with-packagedir='C:\Program Fil
es\XEmacs\xemacs-packages'

(went through fine)


make (also worked with no prob)


only

make install


gave me an error somewhere down the line and I quote:

___________________________________________________________

$ make install

  echo ' /bin/install -c -m 644' $x 'C:\\Program\

  /bin/install -c -m 644 $x C:\\Program\

done;

make: *** [install-el] Error 2

>From what I gather this is a for loop trying to run (/bin/install -c)
$x which is an empty variable. I can see how that can be a problem but
I don't know how to go around it.

Any tips?


Yours,
 Ivan
