[Bacula-devel] detect python lib and include directories

[Alexander B. <le...@st...>]

Hi!

When compiling bacula with python using --with-python=path, path has to 
be a base directory which contains both the include and lib directories.
However, when installing python via RPM (e.g. 
python24-2.4.1-2_8.rhfc3.at and python24-devel-2.4.1-2_8.rhfc3.at from 
ATrpms), headers are installed in /usr/include/python2.X and libraries 
in /usr/lib/python2.4, so specifying a path to the --with-python option 
will fail.

On the other hand, --with-python without path fails to detect the 
correct python libraries and includes suitable for the python binary if 
more than one python version is installed.

Maybe specifying --with-python=python2.4 that sets PYTHON_INCDIR to 
"-I$prefix/include/$withval" and PYTHON_LIBS to 
"-L$prefix/lib/$withval/config -lpython" would be a solution...

See
   http://docs.python.org/lib/module-sys.html
(search for the description of the prefix attribute)

I've attached a patch that should do this job.

Btw: I think the "bacula.8.gz" man-page in scripts/Makefile should be 
installed in
$(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man8/bacula.8.gz
instead of
$(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/bacula.8.gz

Cheers,
