Category: None Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: M. Levinson (levinsm) >Assigned to: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Summary: (partial?) fix for Misc/python-config.in Initial Comment: I've found that the current output from python-config isn't quite right for compiling and linking an application with an embedded interpreter on platforms that need $(SYSLIBS). The attached patch removes extraneous directories from the include path and adds the missing libraries, which was enough to make it work for me in my limited testing. But even with these changes, I haven't quite managed to convince myself that python-config is currently general enough to work on all platforms. Couldn't $(LINKFORSHARED) also be required in some cases, for example? And perhaps there are other missing flags I haven't thought of. I feel it's worth double-checking because python-config strikes me as a potentially convenient tool, but only if its output is known to be correct: If a broken version ever became widely installed in the wild then even if it were to be fixed in some future release, the authors of other applications would forever after need to worry about distinguishing between good and bad versions of python-config before relying on its output, which would undermine its convenience. (Also: if/when it is included in a release, a man page and some mention of it in Doc/ext would be a plus. :-) I hope this is helpful. Thanks for all your great work! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.
