Category: Distutils Group: Python 2.5 Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: Lukas Lalinsky (luks) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: distutils don't respect standard env variables Initial Comment: Using environment variables INCLUDE and LIB is a standard way to set system-wide paths for C compilers. However distutils.msvccompiler always overwrites these variables with it's own values, which means users have no way to customize their MSVC setups. It should *append* the Python-specific stuff to the variables, not overwrite them. --- msvccompiler.py.orig 2006-10-03 12:56:15.812500000 +0200 +++ msvccompiler.py 2006-10-03 12:56:22.718750000 +0200 @@ -635,4 +635,7 @@ else: p = self.get_msvc_paths(name) if p: - os.environ[name] = string.join(p, ';') + p = string.join(p, ';') + if name in os.environ: + p = os.environ[name] + ';' + p + os.environ[name] = p ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Lukas Lalinsky (luks) Date: 2006-10-03 15:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=587716 Oh, I didn't know about this.

Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-10-03 14:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 This bug was fixed in Python 2.5. If the environment variables MSSdk and DISTUTILS_USE_SDK are set, then distutils doesn't attempt to overwrite LIB or INCLUDE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1569886&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
