We dynamically determine Python's SITEDIR and INCLUDEDIR using the build host's Python. This breaks down when the build host's prefix differs from the target host's prefix, so chop off the former and prepend the latter.
This assumes that each Python implementation is always installed using the same scheme. Meson already makes this assumption, and gpep517 makes a similar assumption to determine Python's stdlib location. We could improve on this and determine these locations using SYSROOT's sysconfigdata file, like gpep517 does, but this seems needlessly complex. We would need to take this approach for PYTHON_LIBPATH and PYTHON_CONFIG, but these are only used by handful of packages. ${BROOT-${EPREFIX}} is needed rather than plain ${BROOT} for the same reason we need it for PYTHON, namely that Portage <3.0.50 was buggy. Signed-off-by: James Le Cuirot <ch...@gentoo.org> --- Note that gpep517 also needs the same treatment, but I'll handle that later. This at least allows Portage itself to be installed. eclass/python-utils-r1.eclass | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/eclass/python-utils-r1.eclass b/eclass/python-utils-r1.eclass index 2fffd6d56bf5..68b28c0ed806 100644 --- a/eclass/python-utils-r1.eclass +++ b/eclass/python-utils-r1.eclass @@ -351,6 +351,7 @@ _python_export() { print(sysconfig.get_path("purelib")) EOF ) + PYTHON_SITEDIR=${EPREFIX}${PYTHON_SITEDIR#${BROOT-${EPREFIX}}} export PYTHON_SITEDIR debug-print "${FUNCNAME}: PYTHON_SITEDIR = ${PYTHON_SITEDIR}" ;; @@ -362,6 +363,7 @@ _python_export() { print(sysconfig.get_path("platinclude")) EOF ) + PYTHON_INCLUDEDIR=${ESYSROOT}${PYTHON_INCLUDEDIR#${BROOT-${EPREFIX}}} export PYTHON_INCLUDEDIR debug-print "${FUNCNAME}: PYTHON_INCLUDEDIR = ${PYTHON_INCLUDEDIR}" -- 2.41.0
