I have the exact same issue, trying to compile 3.7.1 with a custom libffi location. Note that I must build libffi from source and can't install binaries provided by my distro, I believe this is the origin of the problem. Probably the python build system checks for libffi in some "standard" locations and it doesn't seem possible to use libffi from a custom location. This is where libffi gets installed after passing --prefix=$HOME/opt to ./configure: $HOME/opt/lib64/libffi.so.6.0.4 $HOME/opt/lib64/libffi.a $HOME/opt/lib64/libffi.la $HOME/opt/lib64/libffi.so.6 $HOME/opt/lib64/libffi.so $HOME/opt/lib/pkgconfig/libffi.pc $HOME/opt/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include/ffi.h $HOME/opt/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include/ffitarget.h $HOME/opt/share/info/libffi.info In any case, just to be sure, I've copied the header files to $HOME/opt/include/ffi.h $HOME/opt/include/ffitarget.h And pkg-config works: [fetch@fetch opt]$ pkg-config --libs libffi -L/home/fetch/opt/lib/../lib64 -lffi [fetch@fetch opt]$ pkg-config --cflags libffi -I/home/fetch/opt/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include These environment variables are also set: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/fetch/opt/lib:/home/fetch/opt/lib64 C_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/fetch/opt/include And still _ctypes fails to build (but python itself (minus _ctypes) compiles successful and works perfectly well). ---------- nosy: +fetchinson ______________________________________________ Python tracker <cpyt...@roundup.psfhosted.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34823> ______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
