[csw-maintainers] sun studio in standard path within /opt/csw, for the sake of python setuptools

[rupert THURNER]

hi,

while trying to easy_install python apps, i fell over a problem with
the path mike used for compiling python: /opt/studio/.. . this is a
problem for filesystems like ours which uses a readonly /opt.

one has to set CC, LDSHARED, LDFLAGS, and for some like genshi
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (/otp/csw) to make easy_install work. would it be
possible to link/mount sunstudio within /opt/csw especially for python
compiles?

see http://groups.google.com/group/distutils-sig/browse_thread/thread/d8d2c47eb1d96210
for details.

i opened also an extension request, unfortunately in the wrong package
as i did not understand it early enough:
