Mac OS X setup.py possible fix #3
Description
On Mac OS X I could not get setup.py to work until changing it as follows.
I didn't have the confidence to post this as a pull request, as I haven't tested these on other systems than my own (Darwin Kernel Version 16.6.0: Fri Apr 14 16:21:16 PDT 2017; root:xnu-3789.60.24~6/RELEASE_X86_64), and fear these changes may have broken the library in some way. So I'm putting this as an issue, as something to try on a Mac OS X system.
if os.name == 'posix':
libpath = '.libs'
if os.uname()[0] == 'Darwin':
libpath = 'lib'
# When installed with brew, the libraries are in for example:
# /usr/local/Cellar/libevent/2.1.8/lib (note: NOT .libs)
else:
# Also no rt library available on Mac OS X
# enable thread support
libraries.append('rt')
extra_link_args.extend([
os.path.join(LIBEVENT_ROOT, libpath, 'libevent.a'),
os.path.join(LIBEVENT_ROOT, libpath, 'libevent_pthreads.a'),
])
libraries.append('pthread')
