Hi all,
When building Emacs on windows configured with prefix option install fails.because of the wrong install dir.
For exmaple, I configured emacs with configure.bat --prefix c:/opt/emacs --cflags -Os
The problem is that, because of the extra space added after prefix location, installer tries to install files to "c:/opt/emacs /bin" which doesn't exist. Seems like commit 529e95d75180241f67fd8b700316907036726c90 is resposible for that. When I reverted that commit, I was able to build and install Emacs again.
