I read how pycxx is packaged for fedora and its using setup.py - but distutils can be imported. I'm not sure why that is working like that. Why is distutil available on Fedora? distutils may be importable with 3.12 in some places but upstream https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/distutils.html are clear in "deprecated with removal planned for Python 3.12" and the official docs no longer contain a page for that package for 3.12; it's officially removed with regard to CPython upstream. I will investigate...

Hi Barry, I believe the Gentoo package dev-python/pycxx that brought me here uses setup.py and not setup_makefile.py. After a quick look at the Makefile that command python3 setup_makefile.py linux Makefile produced, my impression is: - that it does not have an install target - that the produced files obj/simple.so obj/example.so obj/pycxx_iter.so are not essential (but you tell me) - that g++ would need to be a variable, e.g. $(CXX) - that -g should come from $(CFLAGS) and $(LDFLAGS) to respect...

distutils not removed from setup.py?

Thanks, Cosmin! OptiPNG is at 0.7.8 in Gentoo now.

Hi Cosmin, would you recommend Thomas' patch for application as-is in Linux distros before the is a release 0.7.8? I think distros would want to patch before 0.7.8 unless it's only a few days away. Is there anything making sure that "curbit + code_size" cannot overflow btw? Best!

@zengyx is there a patch for this?

Thanks for this fix, I have applied it now in Gentoo Linux https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/0f0ba1c7b1f617b17eb0b946a5f63e92b3320a01
