Improper building of python lib

[Former user]

Hi,

I have shtns version 2.5-r493. I was trying to build the python library with openmp support, and it built ok. But when I tried to run the shallow water example, it died saying some omp symbol is not defined.

When I looked at the command setup.py was using to build _shtns.so, I saw that it was using -pthread even though cargs in setup.py was set to -fopenmp.

I replaced -pthread by -fopenmp manually and built the library and it works now. But is there a better solution?

Thanks, Joy

Oh, and I used --enable-openmp and --enable-python flags with configure

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue. I wonder where this -pthread came from ? Maybe this is how your distribution builds python modules ? Because I have not seen this issue on my system (archlinux). I will look if there is a way to override it.
