I'm trying to build matplotlib and basemap on a solaris box using the latest SVN. My python, qt, tk, etc are all installed in a build directory ($TOOLS). Under linux, the build goes fine and everything works great. However, under solaris, both matplotlib and basemap have link errors that say they can't find the python shared library which is at $TOOLS/lib. Under linux, this shows up in the link line as -L$TOOLS/lib but is missing on solaris.
I'm trying to figure out how I can add -L$TOOLS/lib to the link line. For matplotlib, I was able to just hand copy the error message to the command line, add -L$TOOLS/lib, and rerun 'python setup.py build' to get it to work. This doesn't work for basemap though as it seems to generate some intermediate files that are needed. I edited setup.py to do this: import sys basedir[sys.platform] = [ os.environ['TOOLS' ] ] which seems to have worked on linux but doesn't seem to work on solaris. I google'ed to try and figure out how to add a link option using distutils and found something that said to do this: python setup.py build build_ext -n -L$TOOLS/lib but that doesn't build all the necessary components so my installation ends up not working. Does anyone know an easy way to add this link dir to the distutils build?
