From a34dbe0fdcfd7cf75c8d339542183d58cacfce8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Andrew M. Kuchling" Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 19:13:15 +0000 Subject: Patch #403947: On Cygwin, use the Unix compiler class, and not the Cygwin-specific compiler class. (According to Jason Tishler, cygwinccompiler needs some work to handle the differences in Cygwin- and MSVC-Python. Makefile and config files are currently ignored by cygwinccompiler, as it was written to support cygwin for extensions which are intended to be used with the standard MSVC built Python.) --- Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py b/Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py index 0a30640..4a282d4 100644 --- a/Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py +++ b/Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py @@ -842,7 +842,10 @@ class CCompiler: _default_compilers = ( # Platform string mappings - ('cygwin.*', 'cygwin'), + + # on a cygwin built python we can use gcc like an ordinary UNIXish + # compiler + ('cygwin.*', 'unix'), # OS name mappings ('posix', 'unix'), -- cgit v0.12
