Build fails on Linux Subsystem on Windows

[subhacom]

The build process fails with failure: "command 'install' has no such option 'install_layout'" `copying moose/neuroml2/schema/NeuroMLCoreDimensions.xml -> build/lib/moose/neuroml2/schema

copying moose/chemUtil/rainbow2.pkl -> build/lib/moose/chemUtil

error: error in setup.cfg: command 'install' has no such option 'install_layout'

Other than throwing the error, it actually builds a usable module - I can add "__moose-core_build/python/build/lib/" from the build dir in PYTHONPATH and then moose can be imported in Python.

The install_layout=deb option is added to install command when host is a debian based system.

It is throwing this error because, most likely, the Linux subsystem is not debian based but cmake is detecting as debian. Can you post the output of following command:

$ python -m platform

If it contains 'Debian|Ubuntu' but WSL is not debian based, then it is a bug with python's platform module.

Relevant lines in top-level CMakeLists.txt:

• 343 where we use python -m platform to detect platform.
• 353 where --install-layout=deb is added if 'Debian' or 'Ubuntu' is found in line 343.

cheers, Dilawar
