New submission from multimiler <reid.mad...@me.com>: I am building python from source for installation at /opt/python-3.6.3. The result of the build will be installed in /somewhere/deb-pkg-build-dir. I configure, build, and install, the package as follows:
./configure --prefix=/opt/python-$VER --enable-optimizations --with-ensurepip=install make make install DESTDIR=/somewhere/deb-pkg-build-dir At the very end of the build log I find: Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /opt/python-3.6.3/lib/python3.6/site-packages As a result PIP is not installed. This is an error. The pip installation process should be looking in $(DESTDIR)/opt/python-3.6.3. Instead it is looking at /opt/python-3.6.3/... which is the python installation on the current build host -- NOT INSTALLED BY THIS BUILD. In the top-level Makefile.pre I find the following that runs ensurepip to install pip: install: commoninstall bininstall maninstall if test "x$(ENSUREPIP)" != "xno" ; then \ case $(ENSUREPIP) in \ upgrade) ensurepip="--upgrade" ;; \ install|*) ensurepip="" ;; \ esac; \ $(RUNSHARED) $(PYTHON_FOR_BUILD) -m ensurepip \ $$ensurepip --root=$(DESTDIR)/ ; \ fi As you can see $(DESTDIR) is passed into ensurepip, but it is never used when checking for pip existence. ---------- components: Installation messages: 305351 nosy: multimiler priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ensurepip not honoring value of $(DESTDIR) - pip not installed type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31916> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
