42Using the Posix configure script and Makefile's also means a change in
43the directory structure of the Emacs installation on Windows. It is
44now the same as on GNU and Unix systems. In particular, the auxiliary
45programs, such as cmdproxy.exe and hexl.exe, are in
46libexec/emacs/VERSION/i686-pc-mingw32 (where VERSION is the Emacs
47version), version-independent site-lisp is in share/emacs/site-lisp,
48version-specific Lisp files are in share/emacs/VERSION/lisp and in
49share/emacs/VERSION/site-lisp, Info docs are in share/info, and data
50files are in share/emacs/VERSION/etc. (Emacs knows about all these
51directories and will find the files in there automatically; there's no
52need to set any variables due to this change.)
