misc.c missing about python-gssapi

[nmz787]

Found another ticket here talking about using Cython to create the C files... so I tried:
python3.7.4 -m pip install --user Cython
python3.7.4 setup.py build

but that just leads to another issue, which was previously reported (I've updated there):
#131 (comment)

I've just checked the latest release on PyPI and the sdist on there definitely contains the C files, including misc.c

If you are installing from a git checkout then yes you will need Cython to generate the C files and the error you received is expected if Cython is not installed.

The error you've commented in #131 (comment) is an indication your header files don't contain the references required to build python-gssapi. Can you share some more information on your host setup like what OS, what versions, what GSSAPI provider have you installed and how, + anything else you might think is relevant.

I was installing from a github clone (from just an hour or so ago).

uname -a
Linux plxcaf2035 4.12.14-122.60-default #1 SMP Mon Feb 1 20:52:25 UTC 2021 (cb56da1) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

supposedly on SLES 11 distro. I don't know much about it as it's IT administered. There's also SLES 12, but that doesn't even have the program krb5-config installed.

Looks to be a duplicate of #212. The gssapi_ext.h detection isn't working on SLES as the krb5-config --prefix isn't reporting a similar value to other distributions. causing the build code to think it's working against a Heimdal implementation. There are reports that a newer gssapi package provided by SLES has updated this value so things should start working if you start using that. I haven't used SLES and am not privy to your internal organisation setup so I can't really comment as to whether that's viable for you to use.

Closing this issue as it's a duplicate of #212
