New submission from jmb <jeber...@free.fr>: I tried building an extension on windows with the following command:
> python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 and got an error: "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat". The way I understand it, that error shows that it tried to use the MSVC compiler instead of obeying the --compiler=mingw32 command line option. I then tried to give a bogus compiler value and got the same error message (iirc python 2.5 used to say that it didn't know the 'bogus' compiler). Finally, I modified _default_compilers in distutils/ccompiler.py and put 'mingw32' in the 'nt' key. Afterward, my extension compiled and works properly. Python version: 2.6.3 on WinXP 32 bits. ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils messages: 93789 nosy: jmb, tarek severity: normal status: open title: Distutils build ignores the --compiler command line option type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7091> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
