[SciPy-dev] build_ext fails to pick up fortran compiler

[Avi Purkayastha]

Hi,

When building scipy with a new compiler (pathscale) added to the
  numpy*distutils*fcompiler list, the build log shows that the build  
process
  picks up the fortran compiler for parts of the build where needed  
except for build_ext. Some parts of the log is listed below for  
explanation.

:
  customize PathScaleFCompiler
  customize PathScaleFCompiler using build_clib
  building 'dfftpack' library
  compiling Fortran sources
  Fortran f77 compiler:
  /opt/pathscale/ice9_native_3.2n_B_sicortex/bin/pathf95 -fixedform -O3
  Fortran f90 compiler:
  /opt/pathscale/ice9_native_3.2n_B_sicortex/bin/pathf95 -O3
  Fortran fix compiler:
  /opt/pathscale/ice9_native_3.2n_B_sicortex/bin/pathf95 -fixedform -O3
  creating build/temp.linux-mips64-2.4
  creating build/temp.linux-mips64-2.4/scipy
  creating build/temp.linux-mips64-2.4/scipy/fftpack
  creating build/temp.linux-mips64-2.4/scipy/fftpack/src
  creating build/temp.linux-mips64-2.4/scipy/fftpack/src/dfftpack
  compile options: '-c'
  pathf95:f77: scipy/fftpack/src/dfftpack/dcosqi.f
  pathf95:f77: scipy/fftpack/src/dfftpack/dcosqf.f
  pathf95:f77: scipy/fftpack/src/dfftpack/zfftf.f
  :

  and the build continues with success on picking up and building  
with the
  pathscale compiler on other pieces that need the fortran compiler  
until..

  :

  customize UnixCCompiler

  warning: build_ext: extension 'scipy.fftpack._fftpack' has Fortran

  :

  and ultimately failure because of this reason..

  scgcc -shared build/temp.linux-
  mips64-2.4/scipy/interpolate/src/_fitpackmodule.o -Lbuild/temp.linux-
  mips64-2.4 -lfitpack -o
  build/lib.linux-mips64-2.4/scipy/interpolate/_fitpack.so
  building 'scipy.interpolate.dfitpack' extension
  error: extension 'scipy.interpolate.dfitpack' has Fortran sources  
but no
  Fortran compiler found

  Any suggestions on why build_ext is failing on picking up the fortran
  compiler or any work-arounds for this?


  Thanks
