[issue5243] Missing dependency in distutils build

[Patrick Gerken]

Patrick Gerken patrick.ger...@computer.org added the comment:

Hi Tarek,

I think clib stuff is installed in the right python directory and the 
ext install step then just finds them.

To reproduce the issue, run 
the old easy_install in a virtualenv.
easy_install ReportLab
It will then fail because of the missing library.

I can also show it during Plone Conference, just look for me in irc.

Thanks,

  Patrick

Thank you, tarek

The sys.path should have been obvious.

The attached test works breaks without the patch and passes with the patch.

I am not sure whether the test itself is written following best practice.
I would be more than happy for a review, with hints what should be done
better.

[issue5243] Missing dependency in distutils build

[Patrick Gerken]

New submission from Patrick Gerken patrick.ger...@computer.org:

When running the command install_lib, the command build_clib is not run.
If a package contains clibs they can be dependencies for extension libs,
at least that is stated in the module docstring of build_clib.

In real life you can see it when trying to run the command install_lib
on the current reportlab2.3.

The patch provided needs do be applied in the distutils dir directly with

patch install_lib.py dependency.patch

As requested, I asked on the mailing list first, whether this really is
a bug. 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2009-February/010974.html

I am half finished writing a test case, that I'll append to this ticket
later.
