It's a shell variable.  So for testing purposes, you can say, if
you're using bash:

        export XEDITOR=emacs

or:

        export XEDITOR=<compiled-directory-name>/emacs

Then put this into the bash startup file in your home directory, for
instance .bashrc.  The same place you would modify the PATH
environment variable, if you do that.
