I have a rather large C++ project which has his own build system (scons) and I would prefer to stay inside scons in order to build some python extensions/embeddings (that is, I prefer to avoid using distutils directly to build my extensions).
Can someone confirm that I'm doing the right thing to pick up the necessary dependencies to pick up the compilation flags (the first output line below, once I prefix it with '-I'), location of libpythonX.X.a (the second output line below, once I prefix it with '-L'), and dependent linking libraries (the last three output lines below). This is the type of thing that pkg-config normally solves on linux. (I'd have to add -lpythonX.X to my build commands, which I can do separately by grabbing the major and minor version and building up a string). >>> import distutils.sysconfig >>> for v in 'INCLUDEPY', 'LIBPL', 'LOCALMODLIBS', 'BASEMODLIBS', 'LIBS': ... print distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var(v) ... /home/rutt/.upak/installed/python-2.4/include/python2.4 /home/rutt/.upak/installed/python-2.4/lib/python2.4/config -L/home/rutt/.upak/installed/tcltk/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4 -lX11 -lpthread -ldl -lutil The purpose of this posting is to see if anyone jumps in and says "hey, you missed a variable called ...".
