Description John (J5) Palmieri 2010-09-16 11:11:11 UTC

on a Fedora x86_64 box we need to install all platform dependent files under /usr/lib64.  Our packages have the ability to specify the correct libdir but the waf build in the latest pycairo does not seem to give this option.  Right now I check if our libdir exists in the buildroot and move usr/lib to usr/lib64 if not.  This is not an ideal solution.

Please add a --libdir waf option to your wafscripts which install the pkgconfig and module files to the correct locations.  Thanks.

Comment 1 Steve Chaplin 2010-09-17 13:33:58 UTC

Fixed in the git repo.
Use
./waf configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

Comment 2 John (J5) Palmieri 2010-09-21 09:44:50 UTC

Sorry to reopen this but I notices that the commit only applied to py2cairo.  It should also be ported to pycairo.  Thanks.

Comment 3 John (J5) Palmieri 2010-09-21 09:59:24 UTC

Also noticed this line is wrong:

  obj.install_path = os.path.join(ctx.env['PREFIX'], 'lib', 'pkgconfig')

it should be:

  obj.install_path = os.path.join(ctx.env['LIBDIR'], 'pkgconfig')

I'm in the process of porting the patch to PyCairo and will post it here

Comment 4 John (J5) Palmieri 2010-09-21 10:16:32 UTC

Ah, sorry, the description in the changeset was unclear so I missed it (shows up as "Add support for").

py2cairo still has the error as noted in comment 3.  pycairo's patch is correct.

Comment 5 Steve Chaplin 2010-09-21 20:34:25 UTC

Should now be fixed: pycairo and py2cairo both support 'waf configure --libdir'.
