build problems under Solaris
by Martin v. Loewis Nov. 3, 2000

Nov. 3, 2000

> I don't have access to a Solaris machine, so I can't do anything to > help these users. The patch in 117606 looks right to me: gcc on Solaris (and on any other platform) needs -shared to build shared library; configure currently passes -G. I haven't actually tried the patch, since it is a pain to extract it from the SF bug report page. What happens is that gcc passes -G to the linker, which correctly produces a shared library. However, gcc also links crt1/crti into the library, which … [View More]

Re: [Patch #102170] move getopt() to Py_GetOpt() and use it unconditionally

Well, I changed everything you wanted changed (use _PyOS_ rather than Py_ as prefix, etc) and I was about to check it in, when I got cold feet. This change is going to break programs embedding or extending python, that rely on getopt() (the C function) being available, one way or another. After this … [View More]

PythonLabs -> Digital Creations
by Charles G Waldman Nov. 2, 2000

Nov. 2, 2000

So, when are the relevant websites going to be updated to reflect the new reality? Pythonlabs.com and BeOpen.com still reflect the old regime... I'd think the Digital Creations folks would be eager to announce the changing of the guard...

Re: [Python-Dev] Modules/makesetup loop
by Fred L. Drake, Jr. Nov. 2, 2000

Nov. 2, 2000

[We've uncovered the root of Jeremy's problem here -- this is a problem/limitation of make with VPATH.] Jeremy Hylton writes: > There is a Setup.local in the source directory. That's why it isn't being built. Since it's on the VPATH, make thinks it already exists in a usable form. Since the command that uses it doesn't look for the "most local" version but assumes it exists in the right place, the command fails. This is a problem that exists with VPATH; the built files cannot … [View More]

Modules/makesetup loop

Nov. 2, 2000

I just did a clean configure and make from the latest CVS tree. It seems to get stuck in a loop calling makesetup over and over again. (Output below.) Any idea what's going wrong?
