New submission from Richard Oudkerk <shibt...@gmail.com>: On Windows I can't use a source build of Python to create a venv which will compile C extensions because pyconfig.h cannot be found. For example
running build running build_ext building 'demo' extension creating build creating build\temp.win32-3.3 creating build\temp.win32-3.3\Release c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GS- /DNDEBUG -IC:\Repos\cpython\include -IC:\Users\oudkerk\myenv\PC /Tcdemo.c /Fobuild\temp.win32-3.3\Release\demo.obj demo.c C:\Repos\cpython\include\Python.h(8) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pyconfig.h': No such file or directory error: command '"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe"' failed with exit status 2 The problem seems to be with the following line in distutils/command/build_ext.py: self.include_dirs.append(os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix, 'PC')) Inside a venv, sys.exec_prefix is the venv directory. ---------- messages: 165590 nosy: sbt, vinay.sajip priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: build_ext in a venv on Windows assumes pyconfig.h in sys.exec_prefix + '\PC' type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15367> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
