Issue 1091468: DESTROOTed frameworkinstall fails (original) (raw)

A "make frameworkinstall" with DESTROOT will fail if the same version of Python you're trying to install destrooted has not also been installed normally beforehand.

The reason is that some of the parameters to the applet-building tools are filenames that are actually read while building the applet, and these files don't exist. Other filenames, however, are recorded for use during runtime, so passing the DESTROOTed filenames will also not work.

A fix for this needs to be applied to 2.3.X and 2.4.X too, so fink and darwinports maintainers can benefit too.
