New submission from Stephen Kelly: The Windows Visual Studio solution does not have an install target. As far as I understand, the configure system used on Unix does have an install target.
That means that on Windows, binaries resulting from the build to not end up in the same layout as result from using the official installer. Third party modules expect the same layout. For example, Sip/PyQt requires it https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2017-April/039109.html . There are probably other modules similarly affected. I don't know what else an install target should do, but I note its absence. ---------- components: Build messages: 292872 nosy: steveire priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows Visual Studio solution does not have an install target versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30251> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
