I'm trying to reduce the size of the reportlab manylinux builds. and have a
couple of problems.
1) I don't know how to detect a manylinux platform in my setup.py. A simple
solution is to use an evironment variable to change behaviour, but I assume
there is to be some official os name or platform. Currently I see something like
this
platform=Linux-3.16.0-50-generic-x86_64-with-redhat-5.11-Final
sys.platform=linux2
os.name=posix
2) Even when I do change behaviour to try and get a static linkage of say
freetype agains my code I'm getting linkage errors. Static linkage is said to be
OK in pep 513, but I don't know how to get the multi build code to do it.
I have checked and there are .a files being produced, but it seems they have the
wrong compile time flags my error looks like
/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-CentOS-linux/4.8.2/ld:
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a(ftinit.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against
`tt_driver_class' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with
-fPIC
I suppose I need to create a library of the .o files created for the shared
build. Then I can link against that .a rather than the non shared one.
