Martin Panter added the comment: Perhaps there should be a comment explaining that you can’t write to $(srcdir). Or even a buildbot that does an out-of-tree build. Every now and then I seem to be defending against patches that want to change targets back to $(srcdir).
Also, Trent’s last change, revision 65b3c41052b6, does not seem to work. Apparently $abs_srcdir etc are only valid when substituted in a makefile, and are not valid in the configure script: <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2010-07/msg00021.html>. I will try to post a patch that addresses this to Issue 28066. ---------- dependencies: +[Patch] Fix the ability to cross compile Python when doing a rebuild of importlib.h nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15819> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
