OOF2: The Manual

oof2setuputils.add_third_party_libs
	7.5. `oof2setuputils` Reference

Name

oof2setuputils.add_third_party_libs — Add libraries and library directories for an internal extension

Synopsis

from oof2setuputils import add_third_party_libs
add_third_party_libs(cmd, clib)

Description

add_third_party_libs runs a Unix command and incorporates its output into the given CLibInfo object. The Unix command must print the linker arguments that specify required external libraries and their locations.

Parameters

cmd: A string, containing the Unix command to be executed.
clib: The CLibInfo object that was passed in as an argument to set_clib_flags.

Example

OOF2 uses the Magick++ library, which provides a Magick++-config command, which prints library information, like this:

% Magick++-config --ldflags --libs
-L/usr/local/stow/ImageMagick-6.2.4-gcc3/lib -L/sw/lib
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfreetype -L/sw/lib
-lMagick++ -lWand -lMagick -llcms -ltiff -lfreetype -ljpeg -lpng
-ldpstk -ldps -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -lxml2 -lz
-lpthread -lm -lpthread

An internal OOF2 extension that uses Magick++ could define set_clib_flags like this:

import oof2setuputils
def set_clib_flags(clib):
   [...]
    oof2setuputils.add_third_party_libs('Magick++-config --ldflags --libs', clib)
   [...]
