I was hoping it wouldn't be anything messy, but that seems to do it (except that --tmpdir isn't a standard posix option). I agree, I'll turn this into a Makefile. Probably too big of a change to put into 0.12 at this point, but I'll turn this into a makefile. - Robert _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
