Re: [Gcl-devel] --prefix ignored for documentation

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  GCL polls emacs to find out where it keeps info and
site-lisp files.  In CVS (branch 2.6.1 and head), there is support for
overriding this with the configure option --enable-emacsdir.  I'm
actually working on incorporating this into the Debian package at the
moment.  Apparently, and I think I know where, there are some sites
that store emacs/texinfo etc. in a different tree from that designated
for binaries.

Take care,
