Hi,
as far as I read the docs python-freecontact[1] works with Python3. The
former maintainer left the line
### once libboost-python-dev will be provided for Python3
in d/rules and since I've found
libboost-python1.62.0: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py35.so.1.62.0
libboost-python1.62.0: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py36.so.1.62.0
libboost-python1.63.0: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py35.so.1.63.0
libboost-python1.63.0: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py36.so.1.63.0
(missing py37 - but that's not the point for the moment) I tried to
activate this. When I tried to run the test suite it turned out that
the Python3 3.6 module is linked as follows:
$ ldd
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/freecontact.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so |
grep boost
libboost_python-py27.so.1.62.0 =>
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py27.so.1.62.0 (0x00007f09c84a8000)
The cause for this becomes obvious in
$ grep -- "-lfreecontact -lboost_python" python-freecontact_1.1-3_amd64.build

and
$ readlink /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python.so
libboost_python-py27.so
So I need to find some way thet the library linker flag is not
-lboost_python but rather -lboost_python-${PYVERSION}. When looking
at setup.py it says:
libraries = ['freecontact', 'boost_python'])]
Is there any way to have different library sections in setup.py
to accomplish version specific libraries linked?
Kind regards
Andreas.
