Michael Felt added the comment: re: msg286115,
1) Building modules in the tree during the build process. ** if "in the tree" means building outside of source - such as: ../src/python-X.Y.Z/configure ... make ** the tarball for Python-2.7.13 is building from ../src/Python-2.7.13/configure where as ../src/Python-2.7.12/configure and the earlier (ones I tried) were not. ** However, 'make distclean' is not working. Further details in a later issue - this bit about make distclean id merely FYI. 2) In-tree testing of build module feature (test_distutils). ** Is this as simple as (from the 'build directory': make test ** shall check this later, make test in general seems to be working - is test_distutils a specific test you want verified? 3) Building and installing modules with an installed version of Python. ** FYI: this will work with the 5 lines deleted - as I mentioned above. This is how I manually patched _sysconfigdata.py in Python-2.7.12 when I ran into this. Now reading the other comments from last night... re: 286172 and 286173 Short response: it looks as if patches elsewhere in the 'auto' config files has taken care of this issue - at least for Python-2.7 I shall download and check the latest Python-3.{4|5|6} and report back. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18235> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
