New submission from Antonio Cavallo: I've noticed that linux distros have a set of patch to fix a hardcoded lib in their makefiles:
eg. Makefile.pre.in: .... INCLUDEDIR=¬@includedir@ CONFINCLUDEDIR=¬$(exec_prefix)/include SCRIPTDIR=¬…$(prefix)/lib <== HARDCODED This is due to the fact on the 64 bit they split lib and lib64 directories. I understand that removing such hardcoded values will be a very long task (multiple places where lib is hardcoded). To make it into incremental steps I think a good idea would be to introduce two simple modification into the configure.ac script: they are transparent (eg. won't affect in anyway the current code) but will provide the base infrastructure to build upon. Please find patch attached (mercurial ref 3fb84c1da8c5 / 79960) I'm using a build infrastructure for testing the whole patch set (I've applied them in full in the past) at https://build.opensuse.org/project/packages?project=home%3Acavallo71%3Aopt-python-interpreters. This tracks 2.7 but the patches should be easily ported in 3.x as well. I hope this helps, Antonio PS. Would be possible to remove "tabs" from cofigure.ac? ---------- components: Build, Cross-Build files: autoconfigure.dif messages: 174028 nosy: cavallo71, doko, georg.brandl, larry, skrah, trent priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: configure.ac patch versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27762/autoconfigure.dif _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16347> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
