Since readline is an extension module I think you want to specify this stuff
to distutils, e.g.:
% ./python.exe ../setup.py build_ext --help
Common commands: (see '--help-commands' for more)
setup.py build will build the package underneath 'build/'
setup.py install will install the package
Global options:
--verbose (-v) run verbosely (default)
--quiet (-q) run quietly (turns verbosity off)
--dry-run (-n) don't actually do anything
--help (-h) show detailed help message
Options for 'PyBuildExt' command:
--build-lib (-b) directory for compiled extension modules
--build-temp (-t) directory for temporary files (build by-products)
--inplace (-i) ignore build-lib and put compiled extensions into the
source directory alongside your pure Python modules
--include-dirs (-I) list of directories to search for header files
(separated by ':')
--define (-D) C preprocessor macros to define
--undef (-U) C preprocessor macros to undefine
--libraries (-l) external C libraries to link with
--library-dirs (-L) directories to search for external C libraries
(separated by ':')
--rpath (-R) directories to search for shared C libraries at
runtime
--link-objects (-O) extra explicit link objects to include in the link
...
which suggests something like
./python.exe setup.py build_ext --include-dirs=/sw/include
--library-dirs=/sw/lib
I have fink installed, hence the references to /sw/...
As proof for the OP that it can be done:
