While chasing down last night's failure on buildfarm member longfin, I came across an interesting factoid. If you just do ./configure --enable-shared make make install in unmodified Python sources, what you will get is an install tree in which libpython.so (or local equivalent such as .dylib) is installed in /usr/local/lib, while libpython.a is installed in a directory named like /usr/local/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m. I've verified this behavior on both Linux and macOS.
Wow, these modules have uncovered a number of cans of worms.
In short: I propose replacing all of this logic with "if there's something in $python_libdir that has the right name to be a python shared library, use that, else try the same in $python_configdir, else fail". Thoughts?
Seems reasonable. cheers andrew -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
