Updated eggs for linux x86 and amd64

[Torsten K. <pyt...@tk...>]

Hi folks,

it's been a while since my last update, but today I built some eggs of
python-ldap 2.3.5 for Linux i686 and x86_64 and Python versions 2.4
through 2.6.
Windows and OS X versions will follow as soon as my respective
development environments are up to date and running again.

As usual, the eggs can be obtained from
http://svn.kmrc.de/download/distribution

They are built against OpenLDAP 2.3.43/OpenSSL 0.9.8j/Cyrus SASL 2.1.22

I'm still looking for a satisfactory solution to present an all-in-one
package for Windows, containing all necessary dependencies (i.e.
OpenLDAP, OpenSSL, Heimdal/MIT-Krb5, ...)
Does anyone have a great idea on how to accomplish that (besides
giving away a zip file that has to be manually unpacked to a proper
location)?

Best regards,
Torsten

Yes, that's definitely a good idea. I'll try to accomplish this. If I'm
stuck somewhere, maybe we can explore your memory together? ;-)

Best regards,

FYI

To force static build of the extensions I tweak source of
distutils/cygwinccompiler.py
After lineno 299 I have added:

#TODO enable to force static build
if False:
    shared_option = "-mdll -static"

and change "False" into "True" whenever I build python-ldap.
It seems to work.

If you find a more elegant way of doing it please share.

Yes, that rings a bell. I think I managed to pass those flags manually
without hacking the distutils source, but that's exactly what needs to
be done. Thanks for refreshing my memory!

Feel free to post a patch to setup.py / setup.cfg which does that.

Ciao, Michael.
