Changeset 9586:f7f6bb9b864a --------------------------- scons: Include flags required to link statically with Python Python requires the flags in LINKFORSHARED to be added the linker flags when linking with a statically with Python. Failing to do so typically results in errors from the Python's dynamic module loader at start up. --- Note: We probably only want these flags to apply to the Python libraries. I don't have a good solution for this. We could possibly try to solve the symbol export issue ourselves, but that requires knowledge about the linker. Note 2: Debian Stable and Debian Testing seem to lack Py_ENABLE_SHARED even though the shared library exists.
Tested to compile and run on a machine where only the static library exists. Works with the patch, but not without. Ran the ARM quick regressions on Debian Testing.
