Hello all,
I've got a brand new Solaris 10 computer and I'm trying to build Python
and extension modules for it. The Python build didn't have any problem and
I have a working Python interpreter. But I can't succeed to build
extension modules depending on external libraries: The compilation works,
and object files are produced, but the link always fails.
Here is an example of a failing setup.py file:
----------------------------------------
from distutils.core import setup, Extension
setup(
name='spam',
version='1.0',
ext_modules=[
Extension('spam', ['spam.c'], library_dirs=['.'], libraries=['spam'])
]
)
----------------------------------------
The 'spam' external module is basically a copy of the one appearing in the
'Extending and Embedding' manual, except it also contains a call to a
function in libspam.a, which just does a printf.
Here is the result of the command 'python setup.py build':
----------------------------------------
running build
running build_ext
building 'spam' extension
gcc -shared build/temp.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/spam.o -L. -lspam -o
build/lib.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/spam.so
Text relocation remains referenced
against symbol offset in file
<unknown> 0xa ./libspam.a(spamlib.o)
printf 0xf ./libspam.a(spamlib.o)
ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
----------------------------------------
It seems the problem lies in the order on which the object files and
libraries appear in the link command line, because if I run the same
command with the libraries before the object files:
gcc -shared -L. -lspam build/temp.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/spam.o -o
build/lib.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.6/spam.so
the link works without problem and a working shared object file is
produced.
Did anybody have this kind of problem? Is it a bug, or am I doing
something wrong? And is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance.
