I need to install a package that depends on an external non-python library. I need to be able to specify the locations of the library's include and library files. Normally, when invoking setup.py myself, I'd pass these using the --include-dirs and --library-dirs options. Is there any way to pass this information to easy_install?
Note that the package in question doesn't use setuptools, but I want an egg as a result. The only way I know how to do that is with easy_install. One hack I can think of is to use --editible and --build-directory to download the package, write a setup.cfg into the resulting directory and then run easy_install on the result. I would hope though that there is a better way. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
