Question about compiling python 30 from subversion repository on OSX

[Anthony Kong]

Hi, all,

I have checked out source code from this url http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/py3k, then run

./configure  --with-universal-archs=64-bit
make

First of all, I got this message:

-----------------------------------------------
Modules/Setup.dist is newer than Modules/Setup;
check to make sure you have all the updates you
need in your Modules/Setup file.
Usually, copying Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup will work.
-----------------------------------------------

Then the build failed with these messages

/usr/bin/ranlib: file: libpython3.3m.a(dynamic_annotations.o) has no symbols
/usr/bin/ranlib: file: libpython3.3m.a(pymath.o) has no symbols

make: *** [sharedmods] Error 134


I wonder what caused these error messages. Is it possible that I am checking out the wrong branch?

The 3.2 branch (http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release32-maint) can be compiled without much issue.


Cheers
