[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

This is either an issue in subvertpy's use of distutils, or a bug somewhere in distutils (it should be specifying -fPIC when building .o files).

Do you have setuptools installed?

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Actually, it seems like -fPIC is specified appropriately so I'm not sure what could be going wrong here.

[Shining (nshi-nb)]

What is your means of "setuptools"? Could you give me an example?
