Description bastian-pycairo-bugzilla 2012-01-06 04:38:14 UTC

Created attachment 55210 [details]
console, config.log and env

OS: debian 6
py2cairo-1.10.0
Python 2.7.2

I am trying to build pycairo (to use it with wxPython).

I am not able to find any misconfiguration on my system and decided to open a bug.

I think the auto-deployment tool waf does not use 'python-config  --ldflag' when linking the compiled object file from the step before.

When compiling manulally with 'python-config  --ldflag' everything works fine.

I am not able to do some changes to waf to fix this issue.


Find attached an ascii file containing, console, config.log and env.

Just to add: I am using python2.7.2 from a virtualenv to compile pycairo. But IMO that's not the matter here.

Since 1.11 pycairo uses distutils for building. There is a good chance that
this bug no longer occurs with the new system. If there are still problems
please file a bug: https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo/issues
