Senthil Kumaran added the comment: Digging a little deeper, make libainstall needs $(BINDIR) because of this
$(INSTALL_SCRIPT) python-config $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR)/python$(VERSION)-config *And* that python$(VERSION)-config file refers to the python exe which is available only after bininstall or it's dependees are called. In affect, if make libainstall is for using lib/* contents this fix is okay, but leaves a resultant invalid bin/python-config So, I am not sure the utility of make libainstall is without executing make bininstall - in which case, this is not a bug and probably a documentation change would be required. I am adding Martin and Georg who have dabbled with BUILD previously for their views. ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl, loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16866> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
