I'm following the procedure documented in "nt/INSTALL", which says this:
4. Install the produced binaries:
make install
If you want the installation tree to go to a place that is
different from the one specified by --prefix, say
make install prefix=/where/ever/you/want
If that procedure is wrong, please fix it. But FWIW, I've
successfully made many binary distributions in the last months
following that same procedure.

No, it says something different: I've just tried this, from a build
directory holding a bootstrap of the trunk (r116453):
make install prefix=/c/tmp/dir2 GZIP_INFO= GZIP_PROG=
The make process, after writing many messages to the terminal, has
failed with this snippet:
Installing utilities for users to run.
umask 022; /bin/mkdir -p "/c/tmp/dir2/bin"
for file in runemacs.exe addpm.exe ; do \
/bin/install -c ${file} "/c/tmp/dir2/bin"/`echo ${file} | sed -e
's/.exe$//' -e 's,x,x,'`.exe ; \
done
/bin/install -c -m 644 README.W32 "/c/tmp/dir2/share/emacs/24.3.50"
/bin/install: cannot stat `README.W32': No such file or directory
Makefile:168: recipe for target `install' failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/dani/emacs/build/nt'
Makefile:509: recipe for target `install-nt' failed
make: *** [install-nt] Error 2
And then I've applied the patch sent by Juanma, and tried again. This
time the installation seems to be successful, and I see the file
"<my-install-dir>/share/emacs/24.3.50/README.W32", as expected.
So please, Juanma, could you commit your patch? TIA
