These days, I set it at build time in the file that becomes: sage/config.py which defines all those things that are different in gentoo compared to some other environments. Hopefully, we can improve the meson setup a bit more so that you don't have to overwrite any of those files in the near future. You mention several SAGE_* variable, I have fought for several years so that SAGE_ROOT would never be used at runtime and only be a build time thing, I will not miss it. I also worked and got that SAGE_SRC would just be the sage python module path at runtime by default (prefix/lib/python-3.xx/site-packages/sage/) - it was mostly important for doctesting. I will not miss it either. I know, and I very much appreciate your efforts! I hope we can go a step further and even remove those variables completely, instead of relying on conventions such as "never be used at runtime". Should also made it easier to spot those last survivors where SAGE_ROOT is needed at runtime, such as https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/85c8f1e8a2663e5b89273ccd534ad69440928c60/src/sage/misc/copying.py#L6. By the way how do you run tests in the meson setup? Hopefully, very soon `pytest`. For now `src/bin/sage-runtests`. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
