Category: Build Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: goldenautumnday (goldenautumnday) Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: install fails on hard link Initial Comment: Installing on an attached linux drive from a Mac OS X (Tiger) system fails because hard links are not supported. This is attempted when trying to link python2.4 to python (ln python2.4 python). If it fails, a copy should be performed instead. changing mode of /Users/martinol/auto_v4.0/devel/powerpc-apple- darwin8.5.0/bin/idle to 755 changing mode of /Users/martinol/auto_v4.0/devel/powerpc-apple- darwin8.5.0/bin/pydoc to 755 changing mode of /Users/martinol/auto_v4.0/devel/powerpc-apple- darwin8.5.0/bin/smtpd.py to 755 if test -f /Users/martinol/auto_v4.0/devel/powerpc-apple-darwin8.5.0/ bin/python -o -h /Users/martinol/auto_v4.0/devel/powerpc-apple- darwin8.5.0/bin/python; \ then rm -f /Users/martinol/auto_v4.0/devel/powerpc-apple- darwin8.5.0/bin/python; \ else true; \ fi (cd /Users/martinol/auto_v4.0/devel/powerpc-apple-darwin8.5.0/bin; ln python2.4 python) ln: python: Operation not supported /Users/martinol/auto_v4.0 is symbolic link to /Volumes/thing/martinol which has been attached to using openapple-K (via SMB). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-04-03 14:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 If we are going to support "funny" file systems, falling back to copying looks right to me. While Apple's SMB implementation supports symlinks on smb (through a hack), other implementations might not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Date: 2006-04-02 21:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=580910 Adding a -s flag to the link command should also fix this issue and has the advantage that all builds will be done the same way. The cost for resolving the symlink should be neglectible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: goldenautumnday (goldenautumnday) Date: 2006-03-08 21:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1471082 Changing line 599 in Makefile.pre.in to: (cd $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR); $(LN) python$(VERSION)$(EXE) $(PYTHON) || cp python $(VERSION)$(EXE) $(PYTHON)) allowed make to complete. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1445781&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
