Hi,

I am new to PyPy.

I built pypy using...

$ python translate.py --opt=jit targetpypystandalone.py

When I try to build eggs with C extensions it doesn't work. I am using pip in a 
virtualenv. The build
uses the wrong compiler "cc" instead of "gcc" and does not use CFLAGS.

For example:

$ pip -v install zope.interface==3.6.1

shows this output

cc -I/home/kevin/pypp/env/include -c 
src/zope/interface/_zope_interface_coptimizations.c -o 
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/src/zope/interface/_zope_interface_coptimizations.o
src/zope/interface/_zope_interface_coptimizations.c: In function 
‘verifying_changed’:
src/zope/interface/_zope_interface_coptimizations.c:1349: warning: assignment 
makes pointer from integer without a cast
cc -shared 
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/src/zope/interface/_zope_interface_coptimizations.o 
-o 
build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.5/zope/interface/_zope_interface_coptimizations.pypy-14.so
/usr/bin/ld: 
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/src/zope/interface/_zope_interface_coptimizations.o:
 relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared 
object; recompile with -fPIC
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/src/zope/interface/_zope_interface_coptimizations.o:
 could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I did some digging through the source. I found that the compiler configuration 
is normally loaded
via distutils/sysconfig.py, but that module was effectively disabled in pypy. I 
cannot override
using environment variables for example because the customisation function is 
as follows:

def customize_compiler(options):
     """Dummy method to let some easy_install packages that have
     optional C speedup components.
     """
     pass

I see from the mailing list that people are compiling C extensions. What am I 
doing wrong?

Thanks

Kevin
