[Pythonmac-SIG] Building universal PyOpenGL

[Kent Quirk]

Hi. I got my new MacBook and looked on pythonmac.org for prebuilt 
packages for universal python 2.4.3. I've got wxPython and it seems to 
work, but I also need PyOpenGL, and it's not listed up there. So I got 
the source and I'm trying to build it.

The problem is that it's not building -- many of the source files fail with:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Headers/sys/stat.h:225: 
error: field 'st_atimespec' has incomplete type
/System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Headers/sys/stat.h:226: 
error: field 'st_mtimespec' has incomplete type
/System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Headers/sys/stat.h:227: 
error: field 'st_ctimespec' has incomplete type

The problem is that somewhere back in the stack of include files (within 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include/unistd.h, included by 
Python.h) there's an include of select.h, which defines _TIMESPEC and 
the timespec struct...but it doesn't define user_timespec. stat.h 
expects to have user_timespec defined, but won't define it if _TIMESPEC 
has already been defined.

I'm sure that's clear as mud...but basically, there's a bug somewhere, 
and it's fairly obvious what the general solution is (make sure that 
structure gets define). The trouble is, I don't know what the *right* 
answer is to fixing it.

 From some stuff I've found on the net, it seems like maybe unistd.h 
might want to include time.h instead of select.h...but I really don't 
know all the ramifications of the various issues.

So...I guess what I'm looking for is advice on which direction to 
pursue. Is there a valid fix that can be made to PyOpenGL source that 
would address this? Should I submit a bug report and/or patch to the 
Python people? To Apple? I'd like to get to the point of a useful 
universal build of PyOpenGL.

Advice?
