- I am trying to build Emacs 18.59 in a directory other than the source
- directory. I have achieved this, mostly, through liberal sprinkling of
- $(srcdir)'s throughout the makefiles. I kludged make-doc to accept a
- prefix as one of its arguments so that it would find the source files (it
- really SHOULD scan the .o files to find the .c file's path, probably,
- but...)
-
- But I'm having trouble getting temacs to look in the right directory. I
- already have 18.58 installed, and temacs just happily loads the elisp from
- that installation, rather than from the source tree. How can I point it in
- the right direction?
