Hi Chris
What am I doing wrong - there must be something obvious I'm missing in here?
[root at morgansmachine rdiff-backup-1.1.9]# python setup.py install --help
Global options:
--verbose (-v) run verbosely (default)
--quiet (-q) run quietly (turns verbosity off)
--dry-run (-n) don't actually do anything
--help (-h) show detailed help message
Options for 'install' command:
--prefix installation prefix
--exec-prefix (Unix only) prefix for platform-specific files
--home (Unix only) home directory to install under
--install-base base installation directory (instead of --prefix or --
home)
--install-platbase base installation directory for platform-specific
files
(instead of --exec-prefix or --home)
--root install everything relative to this alternate root
directory
--install-purelib installation directory for pure Python module
distributions
--install-platlib installation directory for non-pure module
distributions
--install-lib installation directory for all module distributions
(overrides --install-purelib and --install-platlib)
--install-headers installation directory for C/C++ headers
--install-scripts installation directory for Python scripts
--install-data installation directory for data files
--compile (-c) compile .py to .pyc [default]
--no-compile don't compile .py files
--optimize (-O) also compile with optimization: -O1 for "python
-O", -O2
for "python -OO", and -O0 to disable [default: -O0]
--force (-f) force installation (overwrite any existing files)
--skip-build skip rebuilding everything (for testing/debugging)
--record filename in which to record list of installed files
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
[root at morgansmachine rdiff-backup-1.1.9]#
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Morgan.
