If you have a global site-lisp directory from previous Emacs

installation, and you want Emacs to continue using it, specify it
|
||||
via the --enable-locallisppath switch to msysconfig.sh, like this:

The %emacs_dir% part is the root of the Emacs installation tree, it

will get expanded by Emacs when it starts up. Using %emacs_dir%,

you can add directories relative to your Emacs installation, which

will continue to be valid if you move the entire Emacs tree into

another place on your disk. Use the normal MSYS /d/foo/bar style to
