Masayuki Yamamoto added the comment: Hello, Eric. I tried to build the '_speedups' C extension module of simplejson (third party library) using the python built on cygwin. As you pointed out, the build of '_speedups' C extension module at the stage of the link failed.
build log: Python3.5.2+ has be used. It has applyed patches to known issues. $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/py35 --with-threads --with-dbmliborder=gdbm --with-system-ffi --with-system-expat $ make && make altinstall $ LANG=C /opt/py35/bin/pip3.5 install simplejson (snip) running build_ext building 'simplejson._speedups' extension creating build/temp.cygwin-2.6.0-i686-3.5 creating build/temp.cygwin-2.6.0-i686-3.5/simplejson gcc -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/opt/py35/include/python3.5m -c simplejson/_speedups.c -o build/temp.cygwin-2.6.0-i686-3.5/simplejson/_speedups.o gcc -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base build/temp.cygwin-2.6.0-i686-3.5/simplejson/_speedups.o -L/opt/py35/lib/python3.5/config -L/opt/py35/lib -lpython3.5m -o build/lib.cygwin-2.6.0-i686-3.5/simplejson/_speedups.cpython-35m.dll /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/5.4.0/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython3.5m collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status *************************************************************************** WARNING: The C extension could not be compiled, speedups are not enabled. Failure information, if any, is above. I'm retrying the build without the C extension now. *************************************************************************** (snip) In the log, -L option specified to "/opt/py35/lib/python3.5/config". But, the current python has "/opt/py35/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m" instead of "/opt/py35/lib/python3.5/config". And libpython3.5m.dll.a library exists in the config-3.5m. I think that to succeed building a C extension module if -L options is changed to "/opt/py35/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m". I'm going to try to find the place that add -L option at build time. ---------- components: +Extension Modules nosy: +masamoto versions: +Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27374> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
