Include file search path problem building py-grpcio with setuptools

[Enrico Maria Crisostomo]

Hi,

When building py-grpcio I'm getting this error:

:notice:build --->  Building py27-grpcio

Since grpcio includes boringssl sources (an openssl fork), I think the compiler include files search path is too wide and should not contain /opt/local/include/openssl.  Examining setup.py I haven't been able to tell why are openssl header files pulled in as well.  For reference, this is where include paths are set:

    CORE_INCLUDE = ('include', '.',)
    BORINGSSL_INCLUDE = (os.path.join('third_party', 'boringssl', 'include'),)
    ZLIB_INCLUDE = (os.path.join('third_party', 'zlib'),)
    CARES_INCLUDE = (
        os.path.join('third_party', 'cares'),
        os.path.join('third_party', 'cares', 'cares'),)
    if 'darwin' in sys.platform:
      CARES_INCLUDE += (os.path.join('third_party', 'cares', 'config_darwin'),)
    if 'freebsd' in sys.platform:
      CARES_INCLUDE += (os.path.join('third_party', 'cares', 'config_freebsd'),)
    if 'linux' in sys.platform:
      CARES_INCLUDE += (os.path.join('third_party', 'cares', 'config_linux'),)
    if 'openbsd' in sys.platform:
      CARES_INCLUDE += (os.path.join('third_party', 'cares', 'config_openbsd'),)

I'm not sure about how I should proceed.  How is the compiler include file search path set up in this case?  The /opt/local/include/openssl path should come from MacPorts, but I don't know where it's set and how I can override it.

Thank in advance,
