On a normal unix system one can run Emacs from the build directory as

Is there a way to run emacs without "make install" ?
How do you build it? Have you read nextstep/INSTALL?
If you don't use --prefix while configuring, 'make install' put all you
need in nextstep/Emacs.app. Usually I don't run 'make' but directly
'make install' after 'configure', then I create a tar-ball
cd nextstep
apack foo.tar.xz Emacs.app
and install it in /usr/local
tar -xf foo.tar.xz -C /usr/local
After the first run, I have left it on the Dock and run it with that
link, but sometimes I have run Emacs directly from commandline with
$ open nextstep/Emacs.app
or
$ open /usr/local/Emacs.app
Ciao,
Angelo.
