On the other hand there are problems when cross-compiling third party extension modules due to: * PYTHON_FOR_BUILD must be set correctly. * distutils is still refering to sysconfig values of the build system instead of the target system. But setup.py handles this correctly and does not need to be modified. ---------- nosy: +xdegaye _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue22699> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
