[Pypar-developers] Patch for Pypar 2.0alpha (AMD 64)

[Ole N. <ole...@gm...>]

Hi all
Here's a patch from Jon for installing pypar on AMD64.

My hope is that we can iron out any installation problems collectively, so
that pypar 2.0 with Numpy support can go beta soon.

Cheers and thanks everyone
Ole

It almost work very well. I ran into some problems when building pypar
with python-2.5 compiled with gcc on an x86_64 linux box. The setup was
in this case hard coded for pgcc. In addition the extra_compile_flag
variable should be a list, not a string.

Otherwise this version works perfectly for me :) Nice work with getting
pypar into sourceforge!

I've attached a patch to pypar-2.0alpha_28.tgz, checking which compiler
is used and setting the flags accordingly. Should I upload the changes
to svn myself or should I hold it until more feedback is sent?

Cheers,
JOn
