Summary: Digital Unix build fails to create ccpython.o

Initial Comment:
I am attempting to install Python 2.3.2 on Digital Unix 
V40.E (Revision 1091). The make goes nearly all the way 
through, then crashes:

Can't open Modules/ccpython.o (No such file or 
directory)

The same thing happens with Python 2.3.1 and 2.1.3.

The configure command I used was

./configure --with-cxx=/usr/bin/cc --without-gcc

(I know what you're thinking: try it with gcc. Well, I 
tried building gcc, and it gave me even more problems 
than Python.)

The Makefile is attached.

Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide.

The one Python script that we really needed to get running 
worked fine after the install, so at this point I'm not worried 
about whatever modules didn't build.

Thanks again for all the help.

Pretty sure there's a Digital Unix 4.0 box in the HP
testdrive farm. I'll look into it in a few weeks if no-one
gets to it before then.

Is there anything that should be done or can this bug report
be closed?

As for the failed tests, it looks like socket and select
modules didn't build.  Probably others.  I doubt anyone has
access to a box with dec unix 4.  So you will probably need
to resolve these problems yourself.

The build finally worked when I used the second configure 
command you recommended:

./configure --without-cxx --without-gcc

Thank you for your help!

This is what happened when I ran make test:

212 tests OK.
10 tests failed:
    test_fcntl test_format test_nis test_openpty test_poll 
test_popen
    test_popen2 test_pty test_select test_tempfile
33 tests skipped:
    test_aepack test_al test_audioop test_bsddb test_bsddb3 
test_bz2
    test_cd test_cl test_curses test_dl test_email_codecs 
test_gdbm
    test_gl test_imageop test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev 
test_locale
    test_macfs test_macostools test_mpz test_normalization
    test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_plistlib test_rgbimg
    test_scriptpackages test_socket_ssl test_socketserver
    test_sunaudiodev test_timeout test_urllibnet test_winreg
    test_winsound
Ask someone to teach regrtest.py about which tests are
expected to get skipped on osf1V4.
*** Exit 1
Stop.

Fortunately, make install worked anyway.
Thanks again!

Did you try either of these:
  ./configure --without-gcc
  ./configure --without-cxx --without-gcc

?
