Description Davin McCall 2014-11-14 15:23:32 UTC

When trying to build 1.10.0:


$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."


Seems like the source bundle is incomplete? Most programs bundle install.sh and various other files and don't require shtool. In any case, if shtool is required it should be listed as a build dependency.

Comment 1 Davin McCall 2014-11-14 15:28:19 UTC

Even after I copy shtool into the source root, I get:

/bin/sh: /usr/src/py2cairo-1.10.0/missing: No such file or directory
configure: warning: `missing' script is too old or missing

... during configure, which aborts.

Please note, this was the Python 2 version of pycairo.

Comment 3 Christoph Reiter 2017-07-05 15:10:00 UTC

Since 1.11 pycairo uses distutils for building. There is a good chance that
this bug no longer occurs with the new system. If there are still problems
please file a bug: https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo/issues
