neuron build on OS X without --disable-pysetup

[pramodskumbhar]

Hi Michael,

I have been using --disable-pysetup. If I remove that, on OS X we get error like:

    fi
 /usr/local/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 nrnconf.h '/Users/travis/build/pramodskumbhar/spack-packages/spack/opt/spack/darwin-elcapitan-x86_64/clang-7.3.0-apple/neuron-develop-gmfle/x86_64/lib'
 /usr/local/bin/gmkdir -p '/Users/travis/build/pramodskumbhar/spack-packages/spack/opt/spack/darwin-elcapitan-x86_64/clang-7.3.0-apple/neuron-develop-gmfle/share/nrn'
 /usr/local/bin/ginstall -c libtool '/Users/travis/build/pramodskumbhar/spack-packages/spack/opt/spack/darwin-elcapitan-x86_64/clang-7.3.0-apple/neuron-develop-gmfle/share/nrn'
running install
error: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix -- not both
make[3]: *** [install-exec-hook] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install-exec-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

If we scroll to the end of build log here, we can see this error. Is this something relevant?

This builds fine on linux.

When there is no --disable-pysetup or no --pysetup=.... the default is to install the neuron module in /lib/python ie. in nrn/Makefile.am $(PYTHON) setup.py install @ac_pysetup@ where in nrn/m4/nrnpython.m4

ac_pysetup='--home=$(prefix)'

So it is not clear to my why it would complain about error: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix -- not both

Please look at /config.status and look at the value of (on my linux machine) S["ac_pysetup"]="--home=$(prefix)"

@pramodskumbhar Could it be this issue ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24257803/distutilsoptionerror-must-supply-either-home-or-prefix-exec-prefix-not-both

I think you're using Homebrew in travis to install python etc ?

[wvangeit]

I wonder if this could be solved by letting neuron use --prefix instead of --home ?

[pramodskumbhar]

I tried quickly on Sierra 10.12 and didn't see this issue. Travis ones are 10.11. I will check if I can reproduce this on my other system.

yes! I am using homebrew with Travis. I will try solution posted!

For Sierra test obviously I used only default Python.

fixed by #40.
