>Summary: 2.4.1 make fails on Solaris 10 (complexobject.c/HUGE_VAL)

Initial Comment:
Hi all,

my efforts building Python 2.4.1 on Solaris 10(x386)
failed.

The error mesage reads:
(...)Objects/complexobject.c: In function `complex_pow':
Objects/complexobject.c:479: error: invalid operands to
binary ==
Objects/complexobject.c:479: error: wrong type argument
to unary minus
Objects/complexobject.c:479: error: invalid operands to
binary ==
Objects/complexobject.c:479: error: wrong type argument
to unary minus
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target
`Objects/complexobject.o'

I found bug 970334 dealing with that topic, but I
didn't find a solution provided.

I tried with various compilers and libraries, e.g.
/opt/sfw/bin/gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.2
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
/opt/csw/gcc3/bin/gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
/usr/local/bin/gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.2

The same result with any of them.

I didn't get the solution provided in
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-August/293795.html
to work for me, unfortunately.

I'd be glad, if you could have a look into this issue.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Looks like HUGE_VAL is defined in a curious way on your
platform. Can you find out what header defines HUGE_VAL and
to what it expands?
