Re: [Distutils] Absolute path library names

I'm using Distutils-0.9 on Linux with a setup file similar to

I'm not exactly sure if I know what you are trying to do, but hopefully the following might help... The 'libraries' key is only for listing libraries that will be linked in (ie. -lpgs -lppc, from your example) and the 'library_dirs' key is for listing library directories that will be looked in for the libraries to link (ie. -L/usr/X11R6/lib/X11). So, I believe your setup.py should look like: setup (.... ext_modules = [('name', {'sources' : [ your c sources ], 'libraries': ['pgs', 'ppc'], 'library_dirs' : ['/usr/X11R6/lib/X11'] }) ] ) Hope this helps.

The error ist that shared_library_filename is nowhere defined. As I can guess from the source this function should look like: def shared_library_filename(lib): return 'lib'+lib+'.so' For a workaround use this: ... 'libraries': ['pgs','ppc','X11'], 'library_dirs': ['/usr/X11R6/lib'] .. because you want -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11. Bastian Kleineidam

It is not a missing function, it is only a wrong piece of code.

This patch did exactly what I wanted. Thanks. Lee Taylor On Wed, 12 Jul 2000, Rene Liebscher wrote:

That's only half of it -- you forgot to grep for the other place where I made this mistake! ;-) (Hint: same file, different place.) ...there, I've fixed 'em both. Will checkin shortly.
