New submission from Floris Bruynooghe <floris.bruynoo...@gmail.com>:
The build_ext command does accept a handy --rpath option to encode an RPATH in the built extension modules. However RPATH is superseded by RUNPATH since the former can not be overwritten by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment varialbe, while the later can. While most linkers will add a RUNPATH automatically when you ask for an RPATH, GNU ld does not do this. Therefore this patch does detect if GNU ld is used and if so will use the --enable-new-dtags option which will add the RUNPATH. ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils files: runpath.diff keywords: patch messages: 86924 nosy: flub, tarek severity: normal status: open title: Ensure RUNPATH is added to extension modules with RPATH if GNU ld is used type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13833/runpath.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5900> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
