Gordon Sim reopened PROTON-342: ------------------------------- Improving the README is great, but it doesn't resolve the issue (which is that it is not possible to install both c headers/libs and bindings to a non-standard location and still rely on pkg-config for depenency configuration. > installing into custom location doesn't work nicely (and is not properly > documented) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PROTON-342 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-342 > Project: Qpid Proton > Issue Type: Bug > Components: proton-c > Affects Versions: 0.4 > Reporter: Gordon Sim > Assignee: Darryl L. Pierce > Fix For: 0.5 > > > The README suggests setting -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when running cmake, it > does not mention setting DESTDIR when invoking make install. > If you don't set the DESTDIR on make install it will honour the > CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX for some parts of the installation (e.g. header files, > native libraries, pkg-config file etc) but the python bindings (and I assume > other bindings) will still install in the standard location which will fail > if you are not running as root. > However if you set DESTDIR then this alters the location of the headers, > libraries and pkg-config , which now install into > $DESTDIR/$CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and the pkg-config file no longer has the > correct include or library paths in it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
