PYTHON= python2.6, does this mean that it will be installed with Python 3 as well? Python may be installed several times on the same system. Sometimes it may appear to be installed several more times due to execution environments like 'virtualenv' (a package which helps avoid altering the formal Python installation tree). Usually building for a particular Python also involves installing files into the Python installation tree, polluting files which were installed using an OS package installer, and possibly even overwriting files. Installing unmanaged files into a directory with managed files is not a decision to be taken lightly. The person doing the build should have complete control over which Python is being used and know in advance what will be done. Installing for 'python2.6' should only install for 'python2.6' and not some other version.

I would like to know that I have a repository that was earlier working fat python2 and my makefile were installing it correctly, now we have moved forward to provide our package dual compatibility in Python 2 and Python 3, whole code is ready but I seek help for How to make the suitable changes that my changes in makefile gets adapted in such a way that my package will be installed in python 2 or python 3 directory depending on the version available on system. Your precious help and guidance will be highly appreciated. I suggest adding support for --with-python=[=PYTHON] to your package's configure script, It should use /usr/bin/python by default, or the program specified by the PYTHON environment variable, or perhaps the 'python' which occurs first in the executable search path. It should be possible to do something like ./configure --with-python=/my/python5.78 In order to allow a specific python to be used. Two builds would be required to support both python2 and python3 on the same host.

Help for makefiles
Greetings, I am an open source contributor and doing Google Summer Of Code 2018 at Sugar Labs. I would like to know that I have a repository that was earlier working fat python2 and my makefile were installing it correctly, now we have moved forward to provide our package dual compatibility in Python 2 and Python 3, whole code is ready but I seek help for How to make the suitable changes that my changes in makefile gets adapted in such a way that my package will be installed in python 2 or python 3 directory depending on the version available on system. Your precious help and guidance will be highly appreciated. Regards Anmol Mishra (IRC-octamois) ___ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
