[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #128930] Inconsistent -L, -R options

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #128930, was updated on 2001-Jan-15 13:35
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Distutils
Status: Closed
Resolution: Fixed
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Submitted by: akuchling
Assigned to : akuchling
Summary: Inconsistent -L, -R options

Details: Martin von Loewis observes:

python setup.py build_ext -L/tmp -lbla
 
works now for me. Unfortunately, passing -R is still broken;
 
  python setup.py build_ext -L/tmp -R/tmp -lbla

Also, I wonder what the rationale is for supporting -L/tmp:/var/tmp,
while not supporting the Unixish -L/tmp -L/var/tmp.

Comment:
Revision 1.32 of unixccompiler.py fixes the exception.

Supporting repeated options, on the other hand, is difficult due 
to the design of fancy_getopt.py.  I'm not sure how to rework it, 
and am reluctant to try it so close to beta1.  It's already listed in the
TODO list for Distutils, so we can consider it for 2.2.  In the meantime
I'll mark this bug as closed.

I'm not sure how it's broken for you, but when I try to build the pybsddb3
package passing in a -R flag I get the following exception:
