I am in serious need of some help (mental?) with building a distutils-distributed python extension (PyXML).
I am on Solaris 8, with the SunPro Forte 10 compiler. I tried the following command line, thinking that it was reasonable: python setup.py build --compiler=unix but the definition of "standard UNIX-style compiler" appears to be 'gcc'. Although I don't quite understand that...the dictionary in unixcompiler.py is initialized to the compiler being 'cc', which would be the Right Thing(tm) on quite a lot of unix platforms, including Solaris. However, by the time the compile command is actually issued on the command line, it's trying to use gcc. I don't follow quite how distutils decides what compiler to use, so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to build with SunPro instead of gcc. For extra credit, and help with my vast amount of mental anguish, someone could try to tell how to build with the Intel C Compiler on windows... -- Nick _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
