AM_PATH_PYTHON used to generate install logic like:
if test -z "$(DESTDIR)"; then \
PYTHON=$(PYTHON) $(py_compile) --basedir "$(demodir)" $$dlist; \
else \
PYTHON=$(PYTHON) $(py_compile) --destdir "$(DESTDIR)" --basedir
"$(demodir)" $$dlist; \
fi; \
Now however, it generates it without the test -z guard, which makes
regular 'make install', and 'make distcheck' fail:
make distcheck
....
../py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir.
I reported this in Ubuntu as bug 997456 -
bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997456; we've patched it locally by reverting
the previous patch.
