---------------------------------
Summary: C++ Windows install fails for qmfgen when Python is in
"C:\Program Files"
Key: QPID-5589
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-5589
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.26
Environment: Windows, cmake 2.8.11.2
Reporter: Chuck Rolke
On a windows build system where python is installed at "C:\Program
Files\Python26" (space in path name) the INSTALL project fails every time.
1. Execute a cmake with "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install".
The generated managementgen\cmake_install.cmake has
{noformat}
list(APPEND CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
"c:\Program Files\Python26\Lib\site-packages/qmfgen")
{noformat}
2. Execute "make install" with (VS2008)
{noformat}
devenv qpid-cpp.sln /build "Debug|Win32" /project INSTALL
{noformat}
The complaint from install is
{noformat}
1>CMake Warning (dev) at managementgen/cmake_install.cmake:35 (list):
1> Syntax error in cmake code at
1> D:/Users/crolke/svn/qpid/b32-2008/managementgen/cmake_install.cmake:36
1> when parsing string
1> c:\Program Files\Python26\Lib\site-packages/qmfgen
1> Invalid escape sequence \P
{noformat}
Fixing that with
{noformat}
file(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${PYTHON_SITEARCH_PACKAGES}" PYTHON_SITEARCH_PACKAGES_PATH)
string(REPLACE " " "\\ " PYTHON_SITEARCH_PACKAGES_PATH
${PYTHON_SITEARCH_PACKAGES_PATH})
{noformat}
Results in a Permission Denied as C:\Program Files is protected.
3. Cmake inclusion of directory managementgen and the installation into the
system Python packages directory is not optional. So install gets stuck.
This jira proposes adding an option BUILD_QMFGEN that would allow a user to
suppress installing qmf-gen into the system. This lets a user avoid the
spaces-in-the-path-name issue and move on.
On systems where Python is installed in a directory that "works" then the
system site-packages are overwritten with each developer install. Is that
right? How can a developer test junk code without trashing the system for other
users? Having a switch to suppress qmfgen for dev builds would dodge this
issue, too.
