[New-bugs-announce] [issue4366] cannot find -lpython2.5 when buinding Python 2.5.2 on FreeBSD 4.11

[Akira Kitada]

New submission from Akira Kitada <akitada at gmail.com>:

I get a number of "cannot find -lpython2.5" error when building Python
2.5.2 on FreeBSD 2.5.2 with gcc 2.95.4.
This problem is only occured when I build it with "--enable-shared"
configure option.

This is how you can reproduce this problem.

cd Python-2.5.2
configure --enable-shared
make

and you will get

gcc -shared
build/temp.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/usr/home/build/dev/Python-2.5.2/Modules/_struct.o
-L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.5 -o build/lib.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/_
struct.so
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpython2.5
...

......


You can workaround this by running  ./configure LDFLAGS="-L."
--enable-shared.
