Tell setup.py the location of headers/libraries Allow the libraries detection routine to look for headers and libs in other directories than /usr/include or /usr/lib through the environment variables PYTHON_MODULES_INCLUDE and PYTHON_MODULES_LIB. We can then use it to look for libraries in the buildroot staging directory.
