Don't add MODLIBS to PYTHON_LIBS (763 bytes, patch)

Description Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2010-04-26 09:21:21 UTC
Hi,

m4/python-module.m4 has this:

PYTHON_LIB_DEPS=`$PYTHON -c "from distutils import sysconfig; print sysconfig.get_config_var('SYSLIBS'), sysconfig.get_config_var('SHLIBS'), sysconfig.get_config_var('MODLIBS')"`

This is problematic since MODLIBS isn't supposed to be used for external packages like pyorbit, and it causes problems since it includes weird things like -lssl in Python 2.6.

Please see bug reports like these:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600706
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600893
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602739

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602994
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610530

(Note that MODLIBS includes LOCALMODLIBS).

The attached patch removes MODLIBS from that list.

PyOrbit is not under active development anymore.

This project has been recently archived in GNOME Git.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
