Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I had a patch that only changed distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('CFLAGS') when not building python, but then noticed that this doesn't work: the setup.py file for stdlib extensions fetches information from the toplevel sysconfig file, not distutils.sysconfig and uses that to override some information (look for "make CC=altcc").
There are two problems there, for which I'll file separate issues: 1) setup.py shouldn't use sysconfig but distutils.sysconfig 2) the block of code that I mentioned earlier is not necessary at all, the comment is plain wrong (tested by removing the compiler update and running 'make CC=no-such-file') V2 of the hack triggers the change of BASECFLAGS only when not building the stdlib, but that doesn't work right now because of the issues mentioned earlier. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file30639/issue18211-hack-v2.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18211> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
