I've still got to manually copy the .lib file in order to build
PyLucene, but otherwise it seems to work. I'm working on
getting the
.lib file automatically in the right place.
Yes, that's been a lingering bug of this for a long time. That
jcc.lib
file doesn't make it over the first time.
What's got me stumped is figuring out how to preduct where
setuptools
will require it to be after installation. That must be predictable
from some aspect of setuptools, but after an hour of plunking around
in the source, I don't see just how that's generated.
it's done by the linker because of this in setup.py:
"/IMPLIB:%s" %(os.path.join('jcc', jcclib))
But that just gives you "jcc/jcc.lib". It's the path that's
interesting.
Yes, and I remember trying hard to figure out a better path but it I
eventually gave up. There didn't seem to be a good way to get a the
path to put this into the right place in the build tree :(
Andi..
I see some code in distutils.cygwinccompiler that seems to point the
way. In the twisted world of Distutils/Setuptools, the way you
address
issues like this is to generate a subclass of, in this case,
distutils.cygwincompiler.Mingw32CCompiler, and then monkeypatch
disutils.cygwincompiler so that your subclass becomes the actual
class.
In this case, the subclass would override the link() method, and
extend
objects with the appropriate filename:
Here's a direct quote from that code:
# we want to put some files in the same directory as the
# object files are, build_temp doesn't help much
# where are the object files
temp_dir = os.path.dirname(objects[0])
# name of dll to give the helper files the same base name
(dll_name, dll_extension) = os.path.splitext(
os.path.basename(output_filename))
# generate the filenames for these files
def_file = os.path.join(temp_dir, dll_name + ".def")
[...]
objects.append(def_file)
So I'd do the same for jcc.lib:
lib_file = os.path.join(temp_dir, dll_name + ".lib")
# now make sure setuptools knows to include it
objects.append(lib_file)
And add
# generate .lib file for the .pyd
extra_preargs.append("-Wl,--out-implib,%s" % lib_file)
to the "extra_preargs". That should create jcc.lib in the correct
place, but that seems to be the only way of getting my hands on the
generated location, and of telling setuptools to put that file in the
egg.
On the other hand, it should work :-). I'll try it tomorrow.
