New submission from Dave Peterson <dpeter...@enthought.com>: I've had trouble building Python extensions on Solaris if the Python install I'm using was built with the '--enable-shared' option. In tracking this down, it appears that the code in 'distutils/command/build_ext.py' contains a number of statements to detect a similar situation for other platforms and explicitly add the 'lib' dir option for the linker, but there is no similar detection for Solaris.
I've attached a patch that fixes this and solves the problem for me. I simply extended the checking for 'linux' and 'gnu' platforms to also apply for 'sunos' platforms. ---------- components: Distutils files: distutils_command_build_ext.patch keywords: patch messages: 80977 nosy: dpeterson severity: normal status: open title: distutils: libpython not found when building python extensions on Solaris when Python was built with --enable-shared type: compile error versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12920/distutils_command_build_ext.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5132> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
