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: Installation >Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Georg Schwarz (gschwarz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: configure detects incorrect compiler optimization Initial Comment: the configure script checks whether $CC compiles with -OPT:Olimit=0. For IRIX 5.3's cc, for example, although it is not supported, it only gives a warning and compiles nonetheless: cc -OPT:Olimit=0 c.c cc: Warning: -OPT options are ignored The configure script tests do not check for this, so they do use that option. It's not so much of a problem that we constantly get respective warnings while compiling; what's more of a problem (and therefore I call it a bug) is that python's configure does not go on checking for other optimizations. Therefore, on IRIX 5.3 with cc the -Olimit=1500 option, which would be needed, is not being configured. Suggestion: also check whether there's anything on stderr while compiling the test code, and if so, don't use that particular option. Assuming make uses some /bin/sh you might use cc -OPT:Olimit=0 c.c 2>&1 >/dev/null and check whether there's any output (or maybe there are more elegant solutions). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=877121&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
