[New-bugs-announce] [issue36353] rpath incorrectly handled on OSX by build_ext

[Toon Verstraelen]

New submission from Toon Verstraelen <toon.verstraelen at gmail.com>:

When using the '-R' option of build_ext on OSX, e.g.

python setup.py -R some/path

it gets translated to the following clang compiler argument:

-L some/path

while it should be

-Wl,-rpath,some/path

See clang documentation for details: 

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangCommandLineReference.html#linker-flags
