Subject: [PATCH 1/6] README: Update pylibfdt install instructions
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2021 22:16:28 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211112041633.741598-2-robh@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211112041633.741598-1-robh-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>
Now that pip is supported for installs, update the install instructions to
use it. Using pip over setup.py is generally recommended and simpler.
Also, drop 'SETUP_PREFIX' as it doesn't exist anywhere.

-To install the library via the normal setup.py method, use:
+The library can be installed with pip from a local source tree:
- ./pylibfdt/setup.py install [--prefix=/path/to/install_dir]
+ pip install . [--user|--prefix=/path/to/install_dir]
-If --prefix is not provided, the default prefix is used, typically '/usr'
-or '/usr/local'. See Python's distutils documentation for details. You can
-also install via the Makefile if you like, but the above is more common.
+Or directly from a remote git repo:
+
+ pip install git+git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git@main
+
+The install depends on libfdt shared library being installed on the host system
+first. Generally, using --user or --prefix is not necessary and pip will use the
+default location for the Python installation which varies if the user is root or
+not.
+
+You can also install everything via make if you like, but pip is recommended.
To install both libfdt and pylibfdt you can use:
- make install [SETUP_PREFIX=/path/to/install_dir] \
- [PREFIX=/path/to/install_dir]
+ make install [PREFIX=/path/to/install_dir]
