Re: INSTALL from sources

Hi Alan, No. Just do "make install" and let make put the packages where you have chosen in your Local.rules file. XEMACS_INSTALLED_PACKAGES_ROOT=... (This should be in harmony with the --with-package-path that you used for building your XEmacs binary.) My setup (and the recommend way to do it according to Local.rules) Building xemacs binary: --prefix=/src/xemacs --with-package-path=~/.xemacs:/src/xemacs/xemacs-packages:/src/xemacs/mule-packages:/src/xemacs/site-packages Building xemacs packages sources located at: /src/xemacs/packages In Local.rules: XEMACS_INSTALLED_PACKAGES_ROOT = ${XEMACS_PACKAGES_BASE}/.. There is a description in the Local.rules file that describes this above in detail. I use this approach so the installation is it's own copy and not depending on what I might pull into the sources. This way your packages will not be destroyed by some package that won't compile. (Which might happen if you symlink to the sources.) Nah. Glad to help and it is fun to compile the packages ;-) It takes some time though. That is the reason for the existence of the prebuilt packages and the sumu!
