[Bug: 21.5-b27] startup.el "borks" filepath?

Mon Nov 20 10:15:11 EST 2006

OK, I've replicated this.  I set up an empty install directory in
~/usr/local, configured --with-prefix=yes --prefix=~/usr/local, set
EMACSDEBUGPATHS=YesPlease, then ran make; make install.  I can see
startup.el change the lisp-directory from the run-in-place
lisp-directory to the installed lisp-directory, which doesn't exist
yet.  The first time through, this doesn't happen until make install,
but once the directories have been created, an ordinary make will
cause the problem at loadup.el.

It looks like the installation code creates this directory, then when
we get to the point of reloading XEmacs pre-installation,
`paths-for-each-emacs-directory' will find configure-lisp-directory,
and use that as the preferred value even though it's not yet
installed.  Worse, for some reason it doesn't find any run-in-place
lisp.

I suspect that this is in part happening because autoconf has decided
to force datadir to be in ${prefix}/share and the logic we use to
determine whether configure-lisp-directory was user-specified doesn't
work right, because it expects datadir to be ${prefix}/lib.  I must
get some sleep, so I'm going to leave this as a conjecture for a while.

Mike?  Can you fix this?  Or is it going to take a while?

Here's a log:
