Bug 461706 – Provide functions to access pkgconfig access for python implementations

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2013-03-14 09:10:57 UTC]

Something that would provide ie pkg-config --cflags python-2.7 or pkg-config --libs python-2.7 and others.

Setting severity to major as i really really need this in libreoffice asap.

Ok, what kind of flags do we exactly need? Are those for building modules or for building executables linking to Python?

[Comment 2 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2013-03-14 17:22:18 UTC]

I need exact output of the two commands I gave in #c1, as I link to the python to build some binaries.

The following should work, if you are in a hurry.

python_export EPYTHON
pkg-config --cflags python-${EPYTHON#python}
pkg-config --libs python-${EPYTHON#python}

Created attachment 342664 [details, diff]
Patch to add necessary functions

Could you test this patch, please?

The ebuild should do then:

  python_export PYTHON_CFLAGS PYTHON_LIBS

plus DEPEND on pkg-config.

I have committed the patch.
