Unable to build Python extension module (spdylay.c: No such file or directory) #42

Closed cyrus-and closed 12 years ago

I compiled and installed Spdylay library (in the standard location) with success, I'm also able to compile the examples and custom programs, but when I try to build the Python extension module I get:

$ python setup.py build_ext
running build_ext
building 'spdylay' extension
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c spdylay.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/spdylay.o
gcc: error: spdylay.c: No such file or directory
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 4

And indeed spdylay.c is not in that folder and neither in my whole file system (including this repo).

Run cython to generate spdylay.c from spdylay.pyx

$ cython spdylay.pyx

I recommend to use cython 0.16 or later.

Yes, that worked, thanks. Maybe it was obvious but it was my first Python extension module build. I'd put that command in the README.

Just noticed that build instructions appear in the documentation. Sorry, my fault...
