New submission from Matthias Köppe <matthiaskoe...@gmail.com>: The documentation of - https://docs.python.org/3.11/using/configure.html#envvar-CFLAGS - https://docs.python.org/3.11/using/configure.html#envvar-CFLAGS_NODIST - https://docs.python.org/3.11/using/configure.html#envvar-LDFLAGS - https://docs.python.org/3.11/using/configure.html#envvar-LDFLAGS_NODIST should explain more clearly that flags such as `-I`, `-L`, etc. and strict compiler flags such as `-Werror...` should not be put into `CFLAGS`, `LDFLAGS`, or it will make the resulting Python unusable for compiling user packages with extension modules via `distutils` and `setuptools`.
Various downstream packagers have provided misconfigured Pythons: - Homebrew (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31132, https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/68528, resolved) - Cygwin (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/33078, https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-December/250302.html, resolved in a proposed package update) - pyenv (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/32531, https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/2204, open) So this appears to be a documentation / user education issue in CPython. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 410586 nosy: docs@python, matthiaskoeppe priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Improve documentation of CFLAGS_NODIST, LDFLAGS_NODIST type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46381> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
