New submission from David Edelsohn:
AIX requires helper scripts to build Python shared extension modules. The
definitions and Makefile installation rules have bitrotted.
Makefile.pre.in:
@if [ -s Programs/python.exp -a \
except python.exp is created in Modules/python.exp, not Programs.exp
$(INSTALL_DATA) Programs/python.exp \
$(DESTDIR)$(LIBPL)/python.exp;
Post-substitution Makefile.pre:
BINLIBDEST= $(LIBDIR)/python$(VERSION)
LIBDEST= $(SCRIPTDIR)/python$(VERSION)
LIBPL= $(LIBDEST)/config-$(LDVERSION)
configure.ac:
AIX*)
BLDSHARED="\$(srcdir)/Modules/ld_so_aix \$(CC)
-bI:\$(srcdir)/Modules/python.exp"
LDSHARED="\$(BINLIBDEST)/config/ld_so_aix \$(CC)
-bI:\$(BINLIBDEST)/config/python.exp"
which is forever enshrined in _sysconfigdata.py
In other words, configure sets LDSHARED to $(BINLIBDEST)/config, which does not
exist in current installations. And Makefile installs the files in LIBPL,
which is based on LIBDEST (prefix and exec_prefix could be different).
And the files are not installed, because the installation tests
Programs/python.exp instead of Modules/python.exp.
Changing Makefile.pre.in to test Modules/python.exp is easy enough as a partial
fix.
What is the preferred location to install the files so that configure.ac and
Makefile.pre.in can be adjusted to match each other?
