I tested it on Linux, where it fixed the issue while keeping the customization (both AR and ARFLAGS can be customized through environment variables). numpy now builds under python 2.7, cheers, David ok thanks David, I'll complete your patch with the test I have written for this issue and commit it so it's included in 2.7/3.1. Notice that from the beginning, the unixcompiler class options are never used if the option has been customized in distutils.sysconfig and present in the Makefile, so we need to clean this behavior as well at some point, and document the customization features. By the way, do you happen to have a buildbot or something that builds numpy ? If not it'll be very interesting: I wouldn't mind having one numpy track running on the Python trunk and receiving mails if something is broken.

Indeed, I have never bothered much with this part, though. Flags customization with distutils is too awkward to be useful in general for something like numpy IMHO, I just use scons instead when I need fine grained control. By the way, do you happen to have a buildbot or something that builds numpy ? We have a buildbot: http://buildbot.scipy.org/ But I don't know if that's easy to set up such as both python and numpy are built from sources. If not it'll be very interesting: I wouldn't mind having one numpy track running on the Python trunk and receiving mails if something is broken. Well, I would not mind either :) David ___ 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

[Python-Dev] Help on issue 5941
Hello, I need some help on http://bugs.python.org/issue5941 The bug is quite simple: the Distutils unixcompiler used to set the archiver command to ar -rc. For quite a while now, this behavior has changed in order to be able to customize the compiler behavior from the environment. That introduced a regression because the mechanism in Distutils that looks for the AR variable in the environment also looks into the Makefile of Python. (in the Makefile then is os.environ) And as a matter of fact, AR is set to ar in there, so the -cr option is not set anymore. So my question is : should I make a change into the Makefile by adding for example a variable called AR_OPTIONS then build the ar command with AR + AR_OPTIONS *or* that doesn't make sense and I just need to change the behavior so it doesn't look for AR into the Makefile. (just in os.environ) Thanks Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org ___ 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
