Re: [BUG]: DESTDIR support not working correctly in xemacs 21.5.27

Stephen> The DESTDIR support was contributed by SuSE, I believe. You might Stephen> want to ask them about it. We'll look at fixing it, but this stuff Stephen> is very delicate and, to be honest, not high priority for us. I've been communicating with Arkadiusz via IRC and we've isolated the problem to a dodgy patch that he was applying. For the record, while there are build tree paths present in the installed files, they are not used by the installed XEmacs. The majority of these paths are in a comment at the top of custom-load.el and are only used when that file is rebuilt. The remaining instances are there to support our bug and build reporting code. Arkadiusz's also discovered that our install tree is not strictly compliant with the Linix File System Standard and, more importantly, there seems to be some funny behaviour when you use configure's --Xdir options to make it so. I'll add this configure problem to my lengthening todo list.
