Hi,
How can I make installing a virtual environment honor DESTDIR? How can I
install a virtual environment in $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX), which behaves as
being set-up in $(PREFIX)? (Of course, this virtual environment can not
be used. My aim is to ship it as part of a rpm package)
In Makefiles is good practice to honor DESTDIR in the "install" target,
like this
install:
install -t $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin build/bin/my-tool
Now when running
python3 -m venv $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)
all paths in this virtual environment refer to $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)
instead of just $$(PREFIX)
Any ideas?
Background:
More about DESTDIR:

Following Redhat's commendations, I want to install my (somewhat
complex) software into /opt/my-software. To make it easier for users to
use the software, my idea was to setup a virtual environment in
/opt/my-software. Thus users can easily use /opt/my-software/bin/python
and have the library provided by my-software available. My Software also
includes some scripts, which will also reside in /opt/my-software/bin
and refer to /opt/my-software/bin/python. This will avoid to require
users to set up PYTHONPATH when thy want to use MY Software.
