[comp.unix.sysv386] Error building emacs on Esix...

dow@presto.ig.com (Christopher Dow) (01/10/91)

	I get the following from the emacs build procedure on Eix
(Unix SysVR3.2 on 386):

        ./temacs -batch -l inc-vers
Loading inc-vers...
Opening input file: no such file or directory, /../lisp/version.el

	Although I have the LIBDIR variable in the makefile set to be
/usr2/local/emacs.  

	Any suggestions?

Smile, it could be a LOT worse.  :-)

The relative locations of the lisp, etc, and other directories are
coded into the ymakefile and, as a result, into the xmakefile.  If
you've created a different directory structure, you need to update
those references as well as paths.h.  You might also want to review
the contents of ../lisp/paths.el to make sure it also is consistent
with your system layout.
