Yep, the install* commands just copy all files from the build dir to the install dir.
The patch is straightforward and the test looks good. However, I worry about backward compatibility. For projects without C libs, this won’t change anything; for projects already having a workaround, what will happen? While this is clearly a bug, I’m not sure fixing the existing behavior is okay in distutils.
For packaging (distutils2), I will commit this shortly. |
