Hi, I use the distutils shipped with Python 2.4 on a i686-pc-linux-gnu system. I am wondering how can I pass more than one external library to distutils' build_ext option (on the command line or even better via setup.cfg)? In analogy to --include-dirs I'd expect ./setup.py build_ext --libraries A:B to generate a linker call similar to: g++ -lA -lB # ... other arguments and options But I get: g++ -lA:B # ... I also tried ./setup.py build_ext --libraries 'A B' ./setup.py build_ext --libraries A B ./setup.py build_ext --libraries A,B ./setup.py build_ext --libraries A --libraries B but to no avail. (In the last case the second --libraries option seems to overwrite the first one.) Is this feature missing and I need to put the library list in the libraries option of the respective Extension constructor in setup.py? Or did I fail to try the correct syntax?
