Hello. Just want to report a couple of minor mostly documentation issues
concerning installation of tramp from sources on windows.
1. INSTALL text file suggests running configure on windows like this:
./configure --with-lispdir='C:/Program Files/Emacs/site-lisp'
--infodir='C:/Program Files/Emacs/info'
The problem is that the ever since 24.4 site-lisp and info location
changed like this:
./configure --with-lispdir='C:/Program
Files/Emacs/share/emacs/site-lisp' --infodir='C:/Program
Files/Emacs/share/info'
So maybe, this should be noted in INSTALL, since I always forget about
this change and then try using old folders.
2. Info won't install because install-info struggles with windows path
format. This is the command that fails:
install-info --quiet --info-dir=c:/Program Files/Emacs/share/info/
c:/Program Files/Emacs/share/info/tramp;
I've found 2 ways of fixing it. First is to remove ";" from that command
in the makefile, but I'm not sure whether there's some specific need for it.
Alternatively this can be fixed by changing ./configure --infodir to a
tool-specific path format:
cygwin: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Emacs/share/info
mingw/msys: /c/Program Files/Emacs/share/info
