Specific compiler option on build command. about gnatcoll-bindings

[simonjwright]

I support this request.

In May this year I was able to add the gprbuild --db option:

./setup.py build --db whatever

but not now.

Note that you can use --help

./setup.py build --help
usage: setup.py build [-h] [--gpr-opts ...] [--jobs JOBS] [--reconfigure]
                      [--target TARGET] [--prefix PREFIX] [--integrated]
                      [--disable-shared] [--python-exec PATH] [--debug]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --gpr-opts ...        pass remaining arguments to gprbuild
  --jobs JOBS, -j JOBS  gprbuild parallelism
  --reconfigure         ignore previous setup results
  --target TARGET       target
  --prefix PREFIX       installation prefix
  --integrated          installation in platform specific subdir
  --disable-shared      if set disable build of shared libraries
  --python-exec PATH    set python executable location
  --debug               build project in debug mode

so just add --gpr-opts followed by gprbuild options .

@Nikokrock - thanks for that.

I had tried ./setup.py --help build, which seemed reasonable, but didn’t either offer the help or hint that I should have been asking the question differently.

Will improve help message of toplevel script to:

./setup.py --help
usage: setup.py [-h] {build,clean,install,uninstall} ...

GNATColl Iconv bindings

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

commands:
  available commands (do ./setup.py CMD --help for help on command CMD)

  {build,clean,install,uninstall}
    build               build gnatcoll_iconv
    clean               clean gnatcoll_iconv
    install             install gnatcoll_iconv
    uninstall           uninstall gnatcoll_iconv
