Martin Panter added the comment: Actually I think it is good to document DESTDIR (you weren’t seem aware of it before?). I was just pointing out that it is useful to more than just Android. Perhaps Guido shouldn’t have trimmed it from the 2.7 readme (original text:

Xavier de Gaye added the comment: About 2.7, this is a list of the issues I am aware of, that may have to be fixed also in 2.7 (and 3.5 for some of them): issues #26884 #27434 #28444 and #22724. Issue #28589 was entered today and is a duplicate of the previous one. > FWIW, DESTDIR, --prefix,

Xavier de Gaye added the comment: I have changed my Android build system to use DESTDIR, it is simpler than using 'mount --bind'. Thanks for the suggestion Martin. Here is a new patch adding some text for the Android cross compilation. -- Added file:
