Hi,
I am trying to get started using pyd with
https://github.com/Superbelko/pyd-min as an example and I am
getting an error from the linker:
minpyd ~master: building configuration "application"...
Linking...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython3.7m
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error: linker exited with status 1
dmd failed with exit code 1.
I did not modify anything from that sample code. This is a
proof-of-concept and then I would move to a larger D project
and Python library which uses a specific conda environment.
If I take out the pyd subConfiguration from dub.json, the build
succeeds but then it picks up my system-wide python 2.7.
Does anyone know how I can indicate the linker where to look
for python3.7m? How can I configure pyd to use python from my
conda environment? As a small note, I am quite new to D, so I
may have missed something obvious.
Best regards
Cesar
I found what was wrong. The pyd subConfiguration of python37 was
looking for my system-wide python37, which I did not have. To use
the conda python, I ran the script from
https://github.com/ariovistus/pyd/blob/master/setup/pyd_set_env_vars.sh:
pyd_set_env_vars.sh <my_conda_python>
And used subConfiguration "pyd": "env". When I did that, I got a
runtime error about the libraries not being found, so then I
added the flag LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running the executable:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/miniconda3/envs/MYENV/lib ./executable
I still need to figure out how to move this flag into dub.son but
for now it is working. Hope this helps out in case someone has
the same problem.
