soundmurderer <soundmurde...@gmail.com> added the comment: I can confirm that --bindir and --libdir are broken in Python 2.6.2, despite the fact that ./configure --help lists them as helpful options. At the very least, ./configure should complain if you're using options that don't do anything! That would be the easy fix.
Here is what I am doing: ./configure \ --prefix=/home/soundmurderer \ --bindir=/home/soundmurderer/bin/x86_64/Python-2.6.2 \ --libdir=/home/soundmurderer/lib/x86_64 OK, now let's see the relevant section of the generated Makefile: # Install prefix for architecture-independent files prefix= /home/soundmurderer/auzilov # Install prefix for architecture-dependent files exec_prefix= ${prefix} # Install prefix for data files datarootdir= ${prefix}/share # Expanded directories BINDIR= $(exec_prefix)/bin LIBDIR= $(exec_prefix)/lib MANDIR= ${datarootdir}/man INCLUDEDIR= ${prefix}/include CONFINCLUDEDIR= $(exec_prefix)/include SCRIPTDIR= $(prefix)/lib # Detailed destination directories BINLIBDEST= $(LIBDIR)/python$(VERSION) LIBDEST= $(SCRIPTDIR)/python$(VERSION) INCLUDEPY= $(INCLUDEDIR)/python$(VERSION) CONFINCLUDEPY= $(CONFINCLUDEDIR)/python$(VERSION) LIBP= $(LIBDIR)/python$(VERSION) So, the --libdir and --bindir flags had no effect on LIBDIR and BINDIR, and I wind up editing the Makefile by hand to get desired behavior. ---------- nosy: +soundmurderer _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue858809> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
