This is possibly a bug introduced by https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/pull/23576, where it looks like the code that explicitly handled ~/
was removed?
Hmm, following that trail, it might even be intentional: https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/issues/23271#issuecomment-1743471430
I guess that makes it clear we should address this by fixing the docs, not changing configure
I've been trying to use configure when setting up distribution of a Chapel library compiled into a Python package. In the documentation for configure, it says:
To me, this indicated that
~/
was a valid value to use. But if I use./configure --prefix=~/
, then I get the following message:Was that an incorrect expectation to have? Is this a bug? Or is this a sign we should adjust our documentation to not imply that?
