From 0767c6a3079aed9b724dc7e777b48b5996811c94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 18:27:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] python-u-msgpack: switch to setuptools instead of distutils python-u-msgpack can use setuptools instead of distutils, and using setuptools is generally preferred. In addition, using setuptools allows to make sure the package will continue to build when we will adjust the PYTHONPATH variable to no longer point to target Python modules. Without such a change to setuptools, the build would fail with: ===================================================================== running install Checking .pth file support in /home/test/buildroot/output/target/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ /home/test/buildroot/output/host/bin/python -E -c pass TEST FAILED: /home/test/buildroot/output/target/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ does NOT support .pth files error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from. The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /home/test/buildroot/output/target/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains: '/home/test/buildroot/output/target/usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfigdata/' Here are some of your options for correcting the problem: * You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files * You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment variable. (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.) * You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by using one of the approaches described here: https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html#custom-installation-locations ===================================================================== Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Reviewed-by: Yegor Yefremov Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni --- package/python-u-msgpack/python-u-msgpack.mk | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/package/python-u-msgpack/python-u-msgpack.mk b/package/python-u-msgpack/python-u-msgpack.mk index a88beeb1c9..89240c3fb2 100644 --- a/package/python-u-msgpack/python-u-msgpack.mk +++ b/package/python-u-msgpack/python-u-msgpack.mk @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ PYTHON_U_MSGPACK_VERSION = 2.2 PYTHON_U_MSGPACK_SOURCE = u-msgpack-python-$(PYTHON_U_MSGPACK_VERSION).tar.gz PYTHON_U_MSGPACK_SITE = https://pypi.python.org/packages/66/5b/36fe0fcf290bd39f6ef6c1f5924cf0a9a76b0dc94575975ad7d318619cf9 -PYTHON_U_MSGPACK_SETUP_TYPE = distutils +PYTHON_U_MSGPACK_SETUP_TYPE = setuptools PYTHON_U_MSGPACK_LICENSE = MIT PYTHON_U_MSGPACK_LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE
