I'm cross-compiling Python using uClibc buildroot, which installs target include files and libraries to a directory like ~/toolchain rather than /usr. I couldn't figure out any way to convincing the top-level python/setup.py to look in ~/toolchain instead of /usr when detecting what modules to build.
I decided to hack up setup.py so that an optional root directory (passed via an environment variable) is prepended to all the hardcoded paths like "/usr/include", "/lib", "/lib64", and so on. Am I missing an easier solution to this problem? I'm happy to post my patch to setup.py if anyone is interested. --Ed _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
