It's a good idea to make `lispdir' available to the `configure' script; but the right approach would be to patch `configure.in' to let `autoconf' do the dirty work. Have a look how the `w3' package tries to solve the problem (ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/elisp/w3/.betas/w3-4.0pre.31.tar.gz). `w3' uses these AC macros: AC_EMACS_PACKAGES AC_PATH_LISPDIR AC_EMACS_VERSION I'm not sure whether these are the "official" ones -- they are working pretty well. I'll check it the next week. | This lets us explicitly set the `lispdir' variable in the Makefiles | to a value of our choice. That's already working; simply call `make' this way: make lispdir=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus make lispdir=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus install -- Karl Eichwalder
