[PATCH 01/11] perf tools: Fix python extension build

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Feb 29 2016 - 14:22:30 EST


From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>

The util/python-ext-sources file contains source files required to build
the python extension relative to $(srctree)/tools/perf,

Such a file path $(FILE).c is handed over to the python extension build
system, which builds the final object in the
$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/$(FILE).o path.

After the build is done all files from $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)lib/ are
carried as the result binaries.

Above system fails when we add source file relative to ../lib, which we
do for:

../lib/bitmap.c
../lib/find_bit.c
../lib/hweight.c
../lib/rbtree.c

All above objects will be built like:

$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/bitmap.c
$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/find_bit.c
$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/hweight.c
$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/rbtree.c

which accidentally happens to be final library path:

$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/lib/

Changing setup.py to pass full paths of source files to Extension build
class and thus keep all built objects under $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)tmp
directory.
