You are talking about compiling Emacs from source?

If my guess above was right, it's easy (this is true of most well
managed "modern" Autotools projects):
- just make yourself a build directory somewhere (in my case
it's just a neighbour of the source dir, but that's not
necessary)
- cd to your build directory
- call configure script from your build directory
- the build machinery gets deployed in your build directory.
- do there make && make install as usual.
Cheers
