Fix installation of python bindings (635 bytes, patch)
2012-01-18 17:33 UTC, Vincent Untz 		committed Details | Review

Description Vincent Untz 2012-01-18 17:00:33 UTC 
The python bindings files are not all installed in the same directory, and I think this causes an issue when _gnucash_core_c.so gets installed in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gnucash/ while the .py files get installed in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnucash/ (which is how files get installed by default on at least openSUSE and Fedora).

As far as I can tell, Fedora got this issue reported as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729454 and they worked around it in a quite ugly way: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=gnucash.git;a=commitdiff;h=07da3ccb7fc971352d32c6c0a5592f41d6b94367

The .py files should go to the same directory as the .so file.

Fix installation of python bindings

With this patch, files are correctly installed together.

I can't commit the fix myself as I don't have a gnucash svn account.

Thank you for your patch !

Christian did commit it to trunk, but it wasn't backported yet to 2.4. I have just done that in r22019.
