New submission from Sven Rebhan <odinsho...@googlemail.com>: If python is installed into a symlink'ed directory, the variables "sys.exec_prefix" and "sys.executable" can contain different paths. Therefore, the respective test in build_ext.py fails (line 202) and a wrong library search directory (-L.) is set.
The attached patch fixes this issue, by using os.path.samefile() instead of the string comparison to see whether two files are identical irrespective of their paths. ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils files: python-2.5.2-build_ext-pathcompare.patch keywords: patch messages: 88351 nosy: sleipnir, tarek severity: normal status: open title: distutils build_ext path comparison only based on strings type: behavior versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14073/python-2.5.2-build_ext-pathcompare.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6114> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
