Hi All, May I ask for a vote how issue to be resolved. The problem is command "... setup.py install ... --root=/$(DESTDIR)" if DESTDIR is specified: error: could not create '//...': No such host or network path
Currently issue http://bugs.python.org/issue2233 propose three solutions: 1) replace "slash before $(DESTDIR)" with "/./" . Lets call solution "hacky". 2) lets call second one "shell script based": INSTROOT=$(DESTDIR); test -z "$$INSTROOT" && INSTROOT=/; ... setup.py install ... --root=$$INSTROOT 3) the third "shell parameter expansion": ... --root=$${DESTDIR-/} The question for last one is: "So, if a user executes "make DESTDIR= install", then the build will fail. Or, maybe we shouldn't worry about that corner case." Which solution is prefered ? What about other solutions ?
