Re: Problem with Python programs with binary components, who to blame?

Hi,

Before writing any formal bug report I thought I might ask first whether the
problem I am seeing is something that can be even fixed from Cygwin's side.

The issue has to do with the compilation of Python binary packages for Python
inside Cygwin (Python installed as a Cygwin package as opposed to Python for
Windows).
The problem starts to show as gcc warnings: "[…] redeclared without dllimport
attribute: previous dllimport ignored", and ends with linkers errors such as:
"relocation truncated to fit [...] against undefined symbol".

I am guessing the problem might actually lie within the Python sources itself
but I am not entirely sure.

So is this some issue that is even worth further research and filing a bug
report here?


On windows all symbols must be available at linking time.
Cygwin programs/libraries have the same constrain.

Can you report the full command that produce :
""relocation truncated to fit [...] against undefined symbol"." ?

Are you building a specific program or it is your own development ?

Regards
Marco
