No offense taken. If you really want to know the historical background: this was the very first build slave (before I actually announced it to python-dev), and I haven't changed much from the initial setup.
I do really want to know. I love trivia :-). Thanks.
I just point out that none of the binaries in /usr/bin is a 64-bit binary; this includes the Sun-provided /usr/sfw/bin/python
The "-L/usr/local/lib" should be "-L/usr/local/lib/64". An example of many.
Is that really the case? I.e. will ncurses automatically install into /usr/local/lib/64 if built with a 64-bit compiler? My installation doesn't even have a /usr/local/lib/64 folder.
A fresh Solaris 10 install doesn't even have a "/usr/local" directory :). Sadly today most Open Source code is written like if Linux were the only Unix system out there. I was amazed that OpenSSL 1.0 installs automatically in "/usr/local/ssl/lib" when compiled in 32 bits, and in "/usr/local/ssl/lib/64" when compiled in 64 bits. I almost cry.
In any case: this shouldn't need a configure option. Instead, Python can find out itself whether it's a 64-bit build, and make modifications it considers necessary.
I agree. Python should detect it automatically and update the paths when compiling. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTOsPBZlgi5GaxT1NAQIw+QP/ZuxpWo2WZYUUcDfARRnOtp60n4PbIGMf fqQ4ZnC9JnelzKDU9kBo0yReL2zYAw0ZwezsGwZ98M9i3XyKkFCtcJcM1vXpIsDL eBwga8kPDpab5loP/vuac5kVC0wn0Z0z8x+BRMW6mwoOMHJzd463E8GTQywdx3x1 06FUHwJ0Hv4= =PV43 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
