Thanks for the info Neil,
sorry for taking long to answer. This is skunkwork, I am working on it
whenever I get some time.
indeed as you say. libintl.h is required so I hard coded it into
setup.py to no effect. At what point does setup.py get called? by make?
my code
# access to ISO C locale support
data = open('pyconfig.h').read()
m = re.search(r"#s*define\s+WITH_LIBINTL\s+1\s*", data)
if m is not None:
locale_libs = ['intl']
else:
locale_libs = []
if platform == 'darwin':
locale_extra_link_args = ['-framework', 'CoreFoundation']
else:
locale_extra_link_args = []
locale_libs=['intl']
exts.append( Extension('_locale', ['_localemodule.c'],
libraries=locale_libs,
extra_link_args=locale_extra_link_args) )
