Andy Buckley <a...@insectnation.org> added the comment: I'm having trouble with this as well :( It's pretty much a blocker for integrating distutils-based extension builds with an autotools library build, because the "make distcheck" target explicitly does the build in a subtree of the source directory, and write-protects the srcdir during the build.
Effectively the source is referred to in my setup.py as living in "../../pyext", which translates into distutils attempting to build the extension in "build/temp.linux-i686-2.5/../../pyext/", which is the write-protected source dir. This would work okay if the directory path to the source file were ignored when constructing the output path: would the proposed patch(es) fix this? ---------- nosy: +andybuckley _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4151> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
