Hi all, Few weeks before a community user reported to gluster-users ML[1] that he/she encountered the following error while trying to do make install from glusterfs sources(v3.7.11):
> Making install in glupy > /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gluster/glupy' > /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 __init__.py '/usr/lib/python2.7/site- > packages/gluster/glupy' > ../../../../../py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir. > make[6]: *** [install-pyglupyPYTHON] Error 1 > make[5]: *** [install-am] Error 2 > make[4]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 > make[3]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 > make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 > make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 > make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 2 days back another user reported the same issue on gluster-dev irc channel. I have provided the workaround temporarily. From my analysis this happens due to the use of old automake version(v1.11.1) while preparing the release tar ball. Starting from v1.11.2[2] automake has begun to accept empty arguments to --destdir option for auto generated py-compile script for byte compiling python code. Even if user have installed a version of automake >= 1.11.2 he/she will be presented with the above mentioned error during make install as we have py-compile script included in the tar ball using automake v1.11.1. Can we have automake updated to some version >=1.11.2?
