[Numpy-discussion] f2py and debug mode

[ferdinand.bayard]

Hello !
And thx for answering ! Meanwhile, I founded a solution for my problem : I
hacked some lines setting the compiler options in the f2py Python files,
which enables the generation of pdb files for debugging.

In msvc9compiler.py, line 432
self.ldflags_shared = ['/DLL', '/nologo', '/INCREMENTAL:no', *'/DEBUG',
'/pdb:link.pdb'*]

In IntelCompiler, line 155
def get_flags(self):
    opt =  ['/nologo', '/MD', '/nbs', '/Qlowercase',
'/us',*'/debug'*,'/Qmkl:parallel','/free']

I got another problem, I could not succeed in linking with external
routines. By example, for : 

call system('....')
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _system.

(I get the same result with other libraries, even if I set the flags in
setup.py : 
ext1 = Extension(name = moduleName,
				sources = ...,
				libraries = ...,
				library_dirs = ...,
				f2py_options = f2py_options)


Thx for your help.
