[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: Open
Resolution: None
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:
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:

% python setup.py build_ext -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1 --inplace
