Matthias Braun added the comment: It's less of a problem when building python extenions, where you are probably fine with using "just the same" as the installed python.
However in my case I am embedding python as a scripting language into another application. So there is very few python related code and alot of other code. The python-config script "injecting" unnecessary build flags that in fact even change things (-DNDEBUG) is very annoying as it changes all the non-python code too. A simple thing like the --includes that just outputs the -I flags would be the best solution IMO. But to have this working you would need to have a guarantee that there is no actual code in the form of #define / inline functions in the headers which potentially breaks if you use different flags from the python library. In fact --includes is what I am using now, I just hope that I won't hit any of the preproc macros by accident... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3290> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
