Hi,
The problem is the following chunk of code from setup.py:
class install(_install):
"""Custom install command."""
def run(self):
resource_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
'gramps', 'gen',
'utils', 'resource-path')
with io.open(resource_file, 'w', encoding='utf-8',
errors='strict') as fp:
path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(self.install_data, 'share'))
if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
path = unicode(path)
fp.write(path)
_install.run(self)
os.remove(resource_file)
I tried fiddling with the --root & --prefix options to setup.py install,
but this only changes the value of install_data, and thus only the end
of the path that gets stored in the resource-path file.
Because the buildpackage process installs to a temporary location, and
because the "path" variable contains the absolute path to this temporary
location, the resource-path file always stores the wrong path.
Then when you start gramps you get the following error from
gramps/gen/util/resourcepath.py:
ResourcePath.error: Resource Path /home/ross...... is invalid".
I have not tried adding a PYTHONPATH or PYTHONHOME yet. This may help if
it causes GRAMPS_RESOURCES to be populated instead of the NoneType it is
at the moment. But maybe I have to try and set the GRAMPS_RESOURCES
environment variable?
But for now, the patch remains applied:
path = '/usr/share'
