This issue is derived from issue1706863.

Can you produce a patch?

(Removing Terry from nosy at his request)

I used to create the patch
http://bugs.python.org/file11597/experimental_distutils.patch
in #1706863, but cygwin guys wanted this code implemented
in CCygwinCompiler class (See #2445).

I think #2445 should be resolved before.

Can you port that patch? I don't have cygwin installed now.

Okay, let’s reach a conclusion on the other bug before getting back to this one.
msg279661 - (view) Author: Masayuki Yamamoto (masamoto) * Date: 2016-10-29 07:30
Move version to 3.7 and 2.7, and I updated two patches adding import library type for file searching.

Current Cygwin is used UnixCCompiler, and the compiler has be able to build extension module that doesn't need to library link at build time (e.g. array).  And CygwinCCompiler has supported old version compilers, but its haven't maintained on Current Cygwin any longer.  Therefore I think there is no necessary that waits solution to #2445 and #18654.

So would you be able to free dependence to #2445, and start to review the patches?
Many thanks.

And updated patch for 2.7

I opened PR 4153 that is an alternative for PR 4136 (issue2445).

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
