Re: [Distutils] force static linking

For outsourcing upstream packaging of (cross-platform) dependencies, I'll second +1 conda. Pants Build bundles everything into a static executable (PEX); and works with pip requirements.txt files. On Mar 23, 2015 5:30 PM, "Nick Coghlan" wrote:

Is this the general perspective on static linking of python module dependencies? That if your systems are the same, you don't need to?

That's general -- nothing specific to python here.

There _may_ be a difference in that you might be more likely to want to distribute a binary python module, and no be sure of the level of compatibility of the host sytem -- particularly if you use a non-standard or not-comon lib, or one you want built a particular way -- like ATLAS, BLAS, etc...

I want static linking too, but if it's swimming upstream in a fast river, I may reconsider.

well it's a slow river...

The easiest way is to make sure that you only have the static version of

The "not swimming upriver" approach is to look at conda for language independent cross-platform user level package management :)

It's purpose built to handle the complexities of the scientific Python stack, while the default Python specific toolchain is more aimed at cases where you can relatively easily rely on Linux system libraries.

Gordon,

If you are sure that your dev and production environments match, then you should have same shared libraries on both, and no need for static

Hello,

I am attempting to build statically linked distributions.

I am using docker containers to ensure the deployment environment matches the build environment so there is no compatibility concern.

Is there any way to force static linking so that wheels can be

Maybe pass -static in $LDFLAGS? Just a wild guess really. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
