I think someone else complained about same thing with less offensiveness a week earlier. nt subdirectory nmake install -f xemacs.mak Ohh, I must have been in a seriously bad mood that night, but for other reasons. Time to start saving to draft and re-reading the next day before hitting the send button. Actually, I was thinking that a patch would be either: 1)The config script has a macro FULL_XEMACS_SRC path 2)Have the makefile figure it out. One problem I'm having is trying to figure out the equivilent of 'pwd' in NT or how to fake it. The true crux of the problem is that you need to quote programs with spaces in the name or path. When the macro $(FOO) is "..\With Space\i.exe", then adding judicical ..\ (like so: ..\$(FOO)) won't work; you get ..\"..\With Space\i.exe". Come to think of it, FULL_XEMACS_SRC may not work either. If the definition is like "C:\With Spaces\xemacs". then you have the same problem adding subdirs to the front as adding ..\ to the rear - they get added outside the quotes. So, to answer my own question, it can be very difficult to replace XEMACS=.. Any one have any crow? Or an old hat they don't need? I just got rather hungry. :=( -- Matthew O.
