I've had good luck building C-language extensions for my Python work, at least up until now. I've got a C file which #includes Carbon.h as well as the canonical Python.h. Attempting to use distutils to build it fails with the error message:
ld: build/temp.darwin-7.7.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/MacUtils/macutilsmodule.o illegal reference to symbol: _FSPathMakeRef defined in indirectly referenced dynamic library /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Carb onCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore when executing this line: gcc -Wl,-F. -bundle -framework Python build/temp.darwin-7.7.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/MacUtils/macutilsmodule.o -o build/lib.darwin-7.7.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/macutilsbackend.so So I tried recompiling/linking by using the same line but adding "-framework Carbon" and the .so built with no complaints. However, once I installed it and tried to import it, I got this from Python: ValueError: module functions cannot set METH_CLASS or METH_STATIC What does this mean? I searched the mail.python.org list and saw a post back in April, 2004 from someone else who saw this exact same line, but nobody every replied to that message. More generally, I'd like to know the answer to this: How do I specify changes to the gcc lines that distutils runs when it builds? Is there a way (short of modifying distutils themselves) to specify optional and/or additional arguments to these commands? Thanks for any help or pointers!
