Subject:	[geda-help] xgsch2pcb & automake 1.11.6 Problems when trying to install
Reply-To:	geda-help AT delorie DOT com

Hello again,

I tried to install xgsch2pcb on debian Wheezy, but I got the following
error:

albus:~/src/xgsch2pcb_2014-06-04/build# ./autogen.sh
processing .
autogen.sh running: intltoolize ...
autogen.sh running: aclocal  ...
autogen.sh running: automake  ...

Makefile.am:25: `pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for `PYTHON'
autogen.sh running: autoconf ...
albus:~/src/xgsch2pcb_2014-06-04/build#

After a bit of googling and finding https://github.com/wdb/wdb/issues/36
(and some others) I tried to fix this by doing the following changes:

Makefile.am:
change
pkglib_PYTHON = lib/xgsch2pcb/pcbmanager.py
to
pkgpython_PYTHON = lib/xgsch2pcb/pcbmanager.py

change
nodist_pkglib_PYTHON = config.py
to
nodist_pkgpython_PYTHON = config.py

I tried to install again:

After doing some resarch I found out, that the meaning of the --destdir
parameter had changed (sorry, but I can't find that, anymore), so I
outcommented that part in py-compile:

#      if test -z "$destdir"; then
#        echo "$0: Missing argument to --destdir." 1>&2
#        exit 1
#      fi

The installation showed no errors after this, but the compiled
python-modules (however you call them, sorry for misnaming!) were not
copied from lib/xgsch2pcb/ to the destination directory
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/geda-xgsch2pcb (?), so starting
xgsch2pcb lead to the following error.

phil AT albus:~/Dokumente$ xgsch2pcb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/xgsch2pcb", line 44, in <module>
    from gui import *
ImportError: No module named gui
phil AT albus:~/Dokumente$

I guess, I could copy the .py files manually, but I think, a proper
solution could be interesting for others, too.

Thanks in advance!
Philipp
