Tackling setup.py - A bug??

[Alexander Petrov]

Hi,

I've successfully compiled p4python with modified setup.py
the key to success was to split extra_compile_a rgs's argument '-arch'
into 2 args.

below is fixed part:

ext_modules=[Extension("P4Client", [ "P4Clientmodule.cc"
],
include_dirs=[ os.path.join( p4_api_dir,
"include", "p4" ) ],
library_dirs=[ os.path.join( p4_api_dir,
"lib" ) ],
libraries=["client", "rpc", "supp"],    #
P4API libs
extra_compile_args=["-DCASE_INSENSITIVE",
"-fpascal-strings",
"-isysroot",
"/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk",
"-DOS_MACOSX",
"-DOS_MACOSX104"
, "-arch", "ppc"
,"-D%s" % p4_api_ver],
extra_link_args=[
"-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk"
, "-arch", "ppc"
, "-framework", "System"
, "-framework", "CoreFoundation"
, "-framework", "Carbon"
],
)]

hope it will help

And this followed by an setup.py install seemed to work just fine. Ok
so now I need to backport these options into setup.py. Here is what I
came up with..

elif os.name == "posix":
setup(name=NAME ,
version=VERSION ,
description=DES CRIPTION,
author=AUTHOR,
author_email=AU THOR_EMAIL,
maintainer=MAIN TAINER,
maintainer_emai l=MAINTAINER_EM AIL,
license=LICENSE ,
url=URL,
keywords=KEYWOR DS,
classifiers = filter(None, classifiers.spl it("\n")),
long_descriptio n = "\n".join(docli nes[2:]),
py_modules=PY_M ODULES,
ext_modules=[Extension("P4Cl ient", ["P4Clientmodule .cc"],
include_dirs=[p4_api_dir],
library_dirs=[p4_api_dir],
libraries=["client", "rpc", "supp"], #
P4API libs
extra_compile_a rgs=["-DCASE_INSENSITI VE",
"-fpascal-strings",
"-isysroot/Developer/
SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk ",
"-DOS_MACOSX", "-
DOS_MACOSX104",
"-DOS_MACOSXPPC", "-
DOS_MACOSX104PP C" ,"-D%s" % p4_api_ver],
extra_link_args =[ "-Wl,-syslibroot,/
Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk ", "-arch ppc", "-framework Carbon" ],
)])

But low and behold it didn't work... In the course of debugging I
found that the compile works. The linking appears to be a problem.
In the link stage I see the command which is being run looks very
similar to my command

g++ -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup build/temp.macosx-10.3-ppc-2.5/
P4Clientmodule. o \
-Lp4api6.1 -lclient -lrpc -lsupp -o build/lib.macosx-10.3-ppc-2.5/
P4Client.so \
-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -framework
Carbon

Not quite the same but close enough. HERE is where the bug shows
up........
If I rerun this same EXACT command at the command line - followed by a
setup.py install it works.

Can someone with a larger python brain than mine please help me figure
this out? It's bugging the crap out fo me...
