Category: Build Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 9 Submitted By: smithj (smithj_rpath) Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: 2.4.4c1 will not build when cross compiling Initial Comment: When trying to build 2.4.4c1 with cross-compiling, I get the following error. checking for /dev/ptmx... configure: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling ./config.log:configure:20566: checking for /dev/ptmx ./config.log:configure:20572: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling This does not occur with 2.4.3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: smithj (smithj_rpath) Date: 2006-10-17 10:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1622486 Yes, that patch does fix the issue. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony Baxter (anthonybaxter) Date: 2006-10-17 09:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=29957 Ok, this revision is definitely the problem - it switched from using our own test to autoconf's AC_CHECK_FILE. This breaks things. Yay. :-/ Looking closer - we used to use our own test -e check. autoconf uses test -r. The attached patch reverses that fix, and changes back to our own test, using test -r instead. Can you please test this? Martin, can you check this out? I had to hand-edit the patch, because autoconf on this box spat out a vast number of extra pointless changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony Baxter (anthonybaxter) Date: 2006-10-17 08:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=29957 Goody - autoconf debugging, my absolute favourite! r50983 | martin.v.loewis | 2006-07-31 00:11:03 +1000 (Mon, 31 Jul 2006) | 3 lines Drop usage of test -e in configure as it is not portable. Fixes #1439538 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Skip Montanaro (montanaro) Date: 2006-10-16 18:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=44345 Boosting this and at least provisionally assigning to Anthony since it's related to a change between 2.4.3 and 2.4.4c1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1578513&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
