Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Distcheck error on latest trunk

[Michael Dickens]

After further investigation, this is a SWIG 1.3.37 bug.  According to  
the documentation [1], "the default output directory for these  
language specific files is the same directory as the generated C/C++  
file" ... which is clearly being violated since the .py file is being  
written to the directory where the .i file is located while the .cc  
file is being written to ".".  I will submit a bug fix to the SWIG  
folks, since there doesn't seem to be one yet; I think I've figured  
out how to patch their code to correct this issue.

That said: The state of use of SWIGPYTHONFLAGS in individual  
components varies significantly (some do not even us it, instead just  
recreating those flags in the local Makefile.am) and should probably  
be cleaned up.
