Bug 259591 – Patch for setuptools issue 43 needed for pylucene-jcc to compile well

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Jacob Floyd 2009-02-19 13:14:44 UTC]

Issue 43 ( http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue43 ) contains a patch that is needed to build dev-python/pylucene-jcc libraries properly (as shared libraries instead of static libraries)

With this patch setuptools will function as normal (building static libraries) unless the force_shared flag is deliberately flipped, as is done in pylucene-jcc's setup.py, in which case the libraries are built as shared libraries.

Upstream python has yet to comment on this issue at the time of filing this bug.

setuptools-0.6_rc9 to setuptools-0.6_rc9-r1 diff including the sharedlib patch

Here's the diff to update the rc9 ebuild to use the new sharedlib patch. It compiles and runs fine for me (x86 I have not tested other arches).

patches the setuptools source to include the force_shared flag

This is files/setuptools-0.6_rc9-sharedlib.patch mentioned in issue 43 which creates the force_shared flag, so that packages can compile as shared libraries if they wish.

Can you reproduce this bug with dev-python/setuptools-0.6.1?
