I was trying to compile the Python+Fortran Assimulo package on Sage (5.11) on OS X, and I couldn't figure out why the gfortran link step kept failing -- the correct linker flags for shared libraries weren't being used. Turns out that the "fcompiler" support in Numpy's distutils will *always* look at LDFLAGS and use them instead of the carefully determined platform-specific flags.
And there's this code in sage-env: if [ "$LDFLAGS" = "" ]; then LDFLAGS="" && export LDFLAGS fi So the empty LDFLAGS setting was always clobbering the carefully determined platform-specific flags. Not sure this is a good thing... Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
