Great.
Now, I'm trying to build ctypes on OS X as the first non-windows
platform. As I said, ctypes currently has its own source copy of libffi
(since there are no separate releases of libffi, and the only platform
that comes with libffi by default that I know is cygwin).
It is built into a static non-shared library with a call to configure
like this:
cd <build_dir>
<src_dir>/configure --disable-shared --enable-static \
--enable-multilib=no --prefix=<inst_dir>
make install
then libffi.a is linked into the _ctypes extension module.
I know near to nothing about 'configure', can/should a call to os.system
with the commands above be added to setup.py, or how could this be
approached?
Thomas
