Category: Build Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Marien Zwart (marienz) >Assigned to: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Summary: thirdparty extensions, --enable-shared, static linking Initial Comment: (I'm filing this under the "Build" category which may not be entirely accurate, but couldn't find a closer match. Is there a description of what the categories mean somewhere?). Python 2.5 built with --enable-shared on linux produces a shared libpython2.5.so in the "normal" libdir and only a static libpython2.5.a in /usr/lib/python2.5/config. Normally when you build extensions you want them to link to the dynamic one. However python-config --ldflags has -L/usr/lib/python2.5/config in its output, causing build processes using it to prefer the static library over the dynamic one. This is somewhat similar to bug 1600860: distutils does the same thing when compiling extensions in an --enable-shared python 2.5. I think either python-config should be modified to not mention that "config" dir on an --enable-shared build or the build process should be modified to put a .so file next to the .a file in that directory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2007-02-09 13:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO The categories aren't described anywhere. python-config should describe the installed code; we shouldn't change what gets installed how for 2.5.1. Georg, with python-config being your code, can you take a look? If not, please unassign (in which case I'd ask marienz whether he would like to contribute a patch). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1655392&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
