[SciPy-dev] Problem converting from scipy_distutils to numpy.distutils

[Berthold Höllmann]

Hello,

I maintain a larger project where I utilize scipy_distutils for quite
some time. Now I find the time to convert the project to numpy from
Numeric. I want to be able to use different versions of the INTEL
Fortran compiler under Linux easily, so in my path I have only script
named like ifort90 or ifort91 that call the correct compiler. So To
compile my project I use a command line like:

python setup.py config_fc --fcompiler=intel --f90exec=ifort91 --f77exec=ifort91 build

It used to work with scipy_distutils, but now I get:

...
customize UnixCCompiler using build_ext
warning: build_ext: fcompiler=intel is not available.
...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    link = self.fcompiler.link_shared_object
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'link_shared_object'

It seems I need a command line switch for the linker as well?

Kind regards
