[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

When trying to install master from osx homebrew, it fails.
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/41630#issuecomment-120743152

It appears that the issue comes from emacs:
> make install isn't installing to the prefix passed to configure.

To reproduce:
`brew install emacs --HEAD --with-ctags`.

Regards,

(As always, it would be lovely to get a self-contained bug report that
describes what the problem is rather than referring to external sites.)

Anyway, a default build on OS X is now a self-contained Cocoa app.
'make install' assembles the app in nextstep/Emacs.app.
Copy that wherever you like. --prefix is ignored.

If you prefer the old default X11 build, which treats --prefix in the
standard way, configure --without-ns.

This is all explained in NEWS and nextstep/INSTALL, AFAICS.

Thanks! I was missing the `--without-ns`. Works fine now.
