Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Build Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Create a fat build on darwin Initial Comment: Apple recently announced that they will switch to intel CPU's for their systems. They request that vendors build fat binaries for software. IMHO the python build process should be changed to make this easily possible. Areas that (might) need changing: * autoconf checks for CPU features (endianness, sizes of basic types). That won't work with cross-builds. A possible solution: create a pycpufeatures.h that hardcodes the information. * distutils might need to be taught about creating fat binaries. * It might be necessary to link to a specific SDK, this in turn might require changes in the autoconf machinery. NOTE: I intend to do some work on this in due time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1218333&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
