Dear Bug Team!
This has driven me batty for years, so I finally fixed it.
The INSTALL file has always claimed:
The `--exec-prefix=EXECDIR' option allows you to specify a separate
portion of the directory tree for installing architecture-specific
files, like executables and utility programs. If specified,
- XEmacs (and the other utilities users run) go in EXECDIR/bin, and
- The architecture-dependent files go in
EXECDIR/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME.
For as long as I've used XEmacs, that second bullet has been a lie.
The architecture dependent stuff always ends up in
PREFIXDIR/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME, which isn't where I
want it because I maintain XEmacs for 8 different platforms, and want
all of the arch-dep stuff in separate volumes. I think this got
better somewhere in 21.1, but broke again in 21.4. Here's a patch to
make configure actually match the INSTALL document.
