Yes, distutils stops with a message along the lines of error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
That's also what e.g. make does by default, unless you run it with the -k flag.
Ok, thanks, then there's not much for me to do, except perhaps at some point make the error message nicer: it now crashes with a nasty traceback...
distutils is your friend here: you just have subclass build_ext.
