Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf tools: Put Python bytecode in output directory
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 16:35:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ag8YQmHiaFc8Hpb-@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ag8X7gcDw6jpJsLq@decadent.org.uk>
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1025 bytes --]
The PMU events are processed into C sources by Python scripts, which
normally results in writing bytecode for each module into the source
tree. This prevents a fully out-of-tree build.
To fix this, set $PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX to relocate the bytecode cache
directory in an out-of-tree build.
