[OTHER]: cmake installs files into non-standard loctations

Please don't use.

Particularly, the src directory is installed right into $PREFIX.

I suggest that you should move it to share/nanobind/src.

The files __init__.py and __init__.py don't appear to be needed.

$PREFIX/stubgen.py should be moved to $PREFIX/share/nanobind/stubgen.py.

Otherwise all packagers would have problems with the nanobind C++ port.

Note: please don't use this ticket template (it is called "Please don't use"..).

The __init__.py file is most certainly needed. The nanobind CMake build system's install targets exist to facilitate building the PyPI packages through scikit-build-core, which is the official distribution mechanism. It is not designed to do what you are trying to do with it (which I think is to somehow make it compatible with the FreeBSD ports system). Generally, FreeBSD is not a supported platform, and custom changes needed to integrate them there should be shipped/patched via ports instead of trying to get them merged here.

The exchanges with you frustrate me because you don't seem to know this project all that well, and yet you regularly open haphazardly written tickets that waste time.

• [BUG]: Tests fail: E ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'test_ndarray_ext' #547
• [BUG]: [regression in 2.1.0] Files are installed into /tmp/tmpu6ixhm7b/wheel/purelib/nanobind instead of into python-specific path #678
• [BUG]: The "Creating your first extension" section in the documentation doesn't explain how to create CMakeLists.txt #679
• [BUG]: cmake doesn't install anything with -DNB_CREATE_INSTALL_RULES=YES #775
• [OTHER]: cmake installs files into non-standard loctations #810

Sorry, but if this continues, I will need to block you from this project.

Ok, I will delete the FreeBSD ports for nanobind then.
