Hello,
After reading the 1.16.4 patch notes regarding PYTHON_PREFIX and the
discussion that originated the change in https://bugs.gnu.org/35322, I'm
still not sure if this is expected:
> cat configure.ac
AC_INIT([foo], [1.0])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
AM_PATH_PYTHON
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
> cat Makefile.am
python_PYTHON = foo.py
> touch foo.py
> autoreconf -fi
> ./configure --prefix=/tmp/foo && make install
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file
'/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/foo.py': Permission denied
Sure, I can use the new flag --with-python_prefix=/tmp/foo, but I feel
that these changes may have broken a lot of installation scripts and
outdate the documentation of some packages. Is it intended to be this way?
Thanks
