[issue36758] configured libdir not correctly passed to Python executable

[Xavier de Gaye]

Xavier de Gaye  added the comment:

I can reproduce the problem.

The Makefile uses LIBDIR as set by configure to install the libraries and this 
is not consistent with Modules/getpath.c that finds the locations of the 
libraries (see the detailed comments at the top of the source file) without 
searching for LIBDIR.

The work around is to use PYTHONHOME.
Michael is right and ./configure should at least issue a warning when --libdir 
is used.

[issue36758] configured libdir not correctly passed to Python executable

[Michael Osipov]

New submission from Michael Osipov <1983-01...@gmx.net>:

I do compile Python from master on HP-UX with aCC:

# echo $LDFLAGS $CPPFLAGS
-L/opt/ports/lib/hpux32 -I/opt/ports/include
UNIX_STD=1998 LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -lreadline" CPPFLAGS="-I$PREFIX/include/ncurses 
$CPPFLAGS" ./configure --prefix=/opt/python \
  --libdir=/opt/python/lib/hpux32 --with-system-expat 
--with-openssl=/opt/openssl

having libs in hpux32 or hpux64 is a convention on this platform. When Python 
is installed the following happens:

$ /opt/python/bin/python3
Could not find platform dependent libraries 
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:]
Python 3.8.0a3+ (default, Apr 30 2019, 12:09:29) [C] on hp-ux11
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/opt/python/lib/python38.zip', '/opt/python/lib/python3.8', 
'/opt/python/lib/lib-dynload', 
'/net/home/osipovmi/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages', 
'/opt/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages']

I don't see hpux32 anywhere here. Though all shared objects are there.

Reconfiguring:

# echo $LDFLAGS $CPPFLAGS
-L/opt/ports/lib/hpux32 -I/opt/ports/include
UNIX_STD=1998 LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -lreadline" CPPFLAGS="-I$PREFIX/include/ncurses 
$CPPFLAGS" ./configure --prefix=/opt/python \
  --with-system-expat --with-openssl=/opt/openssl

gives me the expected result:
$ /opt/python/bin/python3
Python 3.8.0a3+ (default, Apr 30 2019, 12:21:15) [C] on hp-ux11
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/opt/python/lib/python38.zip', '/opt/python/lib/python3.8', 
'/opt/python/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload', 
'/net/home/osipovmi/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages', 
'/opt/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages']
>>>

It pretty much seems like '--libdir' is not correctly passed down to the 
installation.

I can see that at least this is wrong:
./Lib/distutils/tests/test_install.py:59:libdir = 
os.path.join(destination, "lib", "python")
./Lib/distutils/command/install.py:32:'purelib': 
'$base/lib/python$py_version_short/site-packages',
./Lib/distutils/command/install.py:33:'platlib':

./Lib/sysconfig.py:76:'purelib': '{userbase}/lib/python/site-packages',
./Lib/sysconfig.py:77:'platlib': '{userbase}/lib/python/site-packages',
./configure.ac:4653:  
LIBPL='$(prefix)'"/lib/python${VERSION}/config-${LDVERSION}"
./Misc/python-config.sh.in:50:LIBDEST=${prefix_real}/lib/python${VERSION}
./Modules/getpath.c:129:wchar_t *lib_python;   /* 
"lib/pythonX.Y" */
./Modules/getpath.c:131:wchar_t zip_path[MAXPATHLEN+1];/* 
".../lib/pythonXY.zip" */
./Modules/getpath.c:520: * e.g. /usr/local/lib/python1.5 is reduced to 
/usr/local.
./Modules/getpath.c:1018:err = joinpath(calculate->zip_path, 
L"lib/python00.zip", zip_path_len);
./Modules/getpath.c:1147:calculate->lib_python = 
Py_DecodeLocale("lib/python" VERSION, );
./Python/coreconfig.c:103:#  define PYTHONHOMEHELP "/lib/pythonX.X"


I have changed those files manually by adding '/hpux32' everywhere and ran 
configure with custom libdir:
no avail. 'lib/python' will still be used. If this cannot be changed, a warning 
should be issued with ./configure that custom libdir will lead to loading 
issues.
