fix: windows install using pip mislocates share directory
The setup code that tries to make the share install path absolute
prependeds something like:
c:\program files\python_venv
to the paths. The equivalent on linux is recognized as an absolute
path. On windows this is treated oddly. This resulted in
the share files being placed in:
c:\program files\python_venv\Lib\site-packages\program files\python_venv\share
Roundup was unable to find the files there. On windows (where the
platform starts with 'win') don't make the path absolute. This puts
share in:
c:\program files\python_venv\Lib\share
and Roundup finds them.
The translations and templates are found by the roundup-server.
The docs are also installed under the share directory. The man pages
are not installed as windows doesn't have groff to format the source
documents.
This is the second fix from issues getting Roundup running on windows
discussed on mailing list by Simon Eigeldinger.

.. meta:: :description: Information for developers of Roundup. Including directions on checking code from repository, how to run demo mode and execute tests. Code ==== Project history is maintained in `CHANGES.txt <https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/tip/tree/CHANGES.txt>`_ file in code repository of Roundup, which can also be viewed online through SourceForge `web interface <https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/default/tree/>`_. Get sources ----------- Official **read-only access** to Mercurial repository is provided through :: hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/roundup/code roundup **Read/write access** requires SSH password or SSH key authorization (see `SourceForge.net docs for details <https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mercurial/>`_) :: hg clone ssh://USERNAME@hg.code.sf.net/p/roundup/code roundup You also need to be added as a Roundup developer for write access - ask for it on the :doc:`roundup-devel list <contact>`. Run demo -------- Roundup doesn't need any dependencies and works out of the box. Demo is accessible at http://localhost:8917/demo/ by default :: cd roundup python demo.py Execute tests ------------- :: python -m pytest test See repository `README.txt <https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/tip/tree/README.txt>`_ for more info.
