Since I don't run MS Windows by myself, I could only perform a check on the sources. Both proposals by you are OK. > 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. I've changed it in both INSTALL and texi/trampinst.texi, leaving the syntax for Emacsen prior 24.4. > 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.

I've removed it from Makefile.in, it still runs proper on GNU/Linux. So I've commited this patch also. If there are problems on other platforms, we will see reports.
