Christoph Gohlke added the comment: Two findings regarding the new "semi-static linking" options:
Distutils now creates libraries (.lib) that "may not be readable by subsequent versions of Visual C++" <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0zza0de8.aspx>. Build times and static library sizes significantly increase to a point where it becomes impractical in some cases. For example, on my system, the zeromq package builds in 90 s on Python 3.4.3, while on Python 3.5rc1 it takes 470 s. Building HDF5 static libs with the new options takes 30 minutes (close to 100% CPU usage on 8 logical processors) compared to less than 5 minutes for the default options. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24872> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
