Martin Panter added the comment: I was a little concerned that Alex’s patch used “test A -ef B”, which is not specified by Posix. But it is apparently widely supported (and consider we would only need it for cross compilation). Anyway, I was going to suggest test "$(srcdir)" == "." instead, but maybe Xavier’s solution is slightly better again.
I say go with vpath.patch, perhaps with a brief comment explaining that the cp + mv dance avoids copying the file onto itself when doing an in-tree build. ---------- stage: -> commit review versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
