Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Extension Modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Matthias Klose (doko) Assigned to: Thomas Heller (theller) Summary: ctypes should be able to link with installed libffi Initial Comment: ctypes always uses the included libffi implementation (which should be updated to current GCC HEAD). Pleae add an option to build and link against a libffi, which is installed on the system. attached is a hack to just always build using the installed libffi. I'm unsure how to find the correct ffi implementation (maybe check for LIBFFI_H defined in the ffi header?), and where to implement this check (configure.ac --with-system-ffi=/usr?). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-04-05 00:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Why is it desirable to link with the system ffi? That just adds an external dependency, for a negligable space saving (on x86, libffi.so.4.0.1 is 7840 bytes). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1464444&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
