Re: [Numpy-discussion] How to build on Solaris 10 (x86) using sunperf?

The current config.h works fine for solaris with Sun compilers, in my experience, so the problem must be somewhere else.
Peter, could you post the errors you got ? As an alternative, I am working on an alternative build system for numpy: it should work on solaris (tested on Indiana, and other people reported success on solaris 9 and 10). Unfortunately, I have been redesigning the internals quite a lot lately, and I have not tested the changes on solaris yet. If you are willing to test, it should be easy for me to make it work again on solaris in a few minutes, though.
The problems I was having were due to a bad site.cfg initially and then a problem with the python pkg from sunfreeware (ctypes version mismatch). Numpy is now happily installed. If you need someone to test anything new, let me know. Thanks! Pete

If you have a few minutes to spend on it, you could try numscons; I don't have access to solaris (I only have access to indiana, that is opensolaris on vmware, 32 bits only). For solaris, the advantages of numscons is native support sunperf, and optimization flags for compilation (only non-arch dependant for now). As I consider it still experimental, you should not use numpy built this way, though. cheers, David
