Yeah, but it seems you're compiling your own private package path into
the executable, which might surprise users. (And via the now obsolete
package-path setting, too.) Is that necessary?
That just comes for free. :-) Take a look at nt/config.inc.samp for
a configuration file for Windows. When one is building on windows,
one copies nt/config.inc.samp into nt/config.inc and makes
modifications.
Attached is the one I used to build the most recent 21.4 setup kit.
It would still be helpful to know what the various configure-<...>
variables are set to in an XEmacs that's installed from the Windows
installer.
Now I understand what you want! Here are the values of all the
configure- variables I could find on a 21.4.19 installation installed
from the latest setup kit.
configure-data-directory
nil
configure-mail-lock-method
dot
configure-doc-directory
nil
configure-module-directory
nil
configure-exec-directory
nil
configure-mule-lisp-directory
nil
configure-exec-prefix-directory
nil
configure-package-path
("~\\.xemacs" "" "c:\\XEmacs-built\\site-packages"
"c:\\XEmacs-built\\xemacs-packages")
configure-info-directory
nil
configure-prefix-directory
"..\\"
configure-info-path
nil
configure-site-directory
nil
configure-lisp-directory
nil
configure-site-module-directory
nil
HTH,
