Re: [Distutils] Distutils.sysconfig.customize_compiler wrong ?

22 May 2009

      ah ... found it. but i do not make any progress with debugging.
somehow it seems to use the correct compiler while compiling but not
when linking.

/cs/SUNWspro/bin/cc -DNDEBUG -O -xO3 -xarch=v8 -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -
DHAVE_LIBZ -DWORDS_BIGENDIAN -I/opt/csw/include/freetype2 -IlibImaging
-I/opt/csw/include -I/usr/include -I/opt/csw/include/python2.6 -c
libImaging/ZipEncode.c -o build/temp.solaris-2.10-sun4v-2.6/libImaging/
ZipEncode.o
/opt/studio/SOS11/SUNWspro/bin/cc -G build/temp.solaris-2.10-sun4v-2.6/
_imaging.o build/temp.solaris-2.10-sun4v-2.6/decode.o
<cut> ...
-L/usr/lib -ljpeg -lz -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.solaris-2.10-sun4v-2.6/
_imaging.so

rupert.

What do you mean ?
the "This function is even more special-purpose, and should only be
used
from Python’s own build procedures. "
As a matter of fact, Python uses build_ext when it's built.  What the
documentation means
here is that you should not use customize_compiler in your code, but
through build_ext
and a few other commands in Python's distutils.
I agree it's not very clear though, and that it should be made private
with a "_"

the packager of our operating systems python had the compiler in /opt/

build_ext will pick the CC it finds in the Makefile but overrides it if one
is set in os.environ['CC']

i cannot find it in the code ... but it seems to work on the top level
but is not passed on, so i wonder where in the code this is ?
It's in distutils code, not setuptools. Setuptools is a layer on the
top of distutils.
