Matthew Brett added the comment: I think this is a frank bug for Pythons that use MSVC 10+ by default (3.3, 3.4 for example).
The lack of the /MANIFEST flag breaks the distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler.link_executable command - see attached setup.py example. The example gives the error "main.exe.exe.manifest : general error c1010070: Failed to load and parse the manifest. The system cannot find the file specified." We (http://nipy.org/dipy) ran into this because we were innocently using compilation of a 'main.c' file to an executable to check link flags. ---------- nosy: +Matthew.Brett Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37556/setup.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4431> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
