Windows: utils/* not being installed?

[paniq]

I noticed that cpp.exe is not installed with pycparser. Is that a bug or a deliberate choice? It would be enormously helpful to be able to depend on cpp.exe when pycparser is installed as in e.g.

CPPPATH = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(pycparser.__file__)),'utils', 'cpp.exe')

Can you clarify what you mean by "not installed"? Would you expect it to be copied into the installation dir? I guess I could accept a pull request that adds that. I don't have a way to develop/test it myself though, since I don't have a Windows machine available.

setup.py makes no mention of the utils folder, and so utils is not installed with pycparser into python's dist-packages folder when setup.py install is executed.

It also appears the cpp.exe in the distribution is rather old; it lacks most of the options a modern gcc-based cpp offers.

I'll look into solutions for both points.

I've too noticed that utils/* is not installed with setup.py. This results in the Arch Linux package lacking the fake libc headers. I guess without them pycparser is greatly limited.

utils/ inclusion should have been fixed with ada0c04 (see #96), but a release hasn't been done since unfortunately

This doesn't seem to have repaired the issue on virtual env on os x

Utils is not installed, see #224

I don't plan to fix this, but a notice has been added to the README
