Then why did it complain about %emacs_dir%/share/emacs/@VER@/site-lisp
? It does not contain any colon.

I used c:/mydir as an example. What I mean is,
--enable-locallisppath=/c/mydir should not complain. I haven't checked
that it does, but if not, I'm puzzled that it complained about the
%emacs_dir% path.
