buildout: setting envirionment variables for zc.recipe.egg:custom?
Hi, building lxml requires additional configuration so it finds xslt-config correctly. One possibility is to set the PATH environment variable. The other is to call setup.py --xslt-config=... Using setup.py --xslt-config doesn't fit at all into buildout i think. Setting environment variables before installing an egg on the other hand might be useful. Would it make sense to put this into zc.recipe.egg or would it be better to create some unrelated recipe which only sets envirionment variables?

I don't agree. First, this isn't really so much about buildout as it is about the eggs recipe. The zc.recipe.egg:custom already provides custom build support. It seems reasonable to extend it to allow something like this.

Would that help in *this* case?

I suggest updating zc.recipe.egg:custom to accept environment- variable, assuming that setting environment variables is sufficient. I think an option to pass setup custom options would be useful as well. Jim -- Jim Fulton Zope Corporation

I would be fine with that of course.

Yes, it would. Because lxml looks in the $PATH for xslt-config. So setting it correctly would help.

It is.

Probably. Although apparently there are not so many eggs requiring it. Anyway, environment would be fine, option would be better :) -- Christian Zagrodnick gocept gmbh & co. kg · forsterstrasse 29 · 06112 halle/saale www.gocept.com · fon. +49 345 12298894 · fax. +49 345 12298891

I added setting the environment in r84015. Jim, could you review that? Thanks, -- Christian Zagrodnick gocept gmbh & co. kg · forsterstrasse 29 · 06112 halle/saale www.gocept.com · fon. +49 345 12298894 · fax. +49 345 12298891

I added some fixes and did some cleanup in r84019. -- Christian Zagrodnick gocept gmbh & co. kg · forsterstrasse 29 · 06112 halle/saale www.gocept.com · fon. +49 345 12298894 · fax. +49 345 12298891
Hello,
I suggest updating zc.recipe.egg:custom to accept environment- variable, assuming that setting environment variables is sufficient.

I added some fixes and did some cleanup in r84019.
may I poke you guys for a new release of zc.recipe.egg? :-) -- Dorneles Treméa X3ng Web Technology http://nosleepforyou.blogspot.com
