AM_PATH_PYTHON used to generate install logic like: if test -z "$(DESTDIR)"; then \ PYTHON=$(PYTHON) $(py_compile) --basedir "$(demodir)" $$dlist; \ else \ PYTHON=$(PYTHON) $(py_compile) --destdir "$(DESTDIR)" --basedir "$(demodir)" $$dlist; \ fi; \
Now however, it generates it without the test -z guard, which makes regular 'make install', and 'make distcheck' fail: make distcheck .... ../py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir. I reported this in Ubuntu as bug 997456 - bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997456; we've patched it locally by reverting the previous patch. Cheers,Rob
