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: Python 2.5 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: SAndreason (sandreas41) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: configure does not check/warn/stop for tk/tcl Initial Comment: linux-2.4.33 installing Python-2.5.tar.bz2 9357099 bytes During the first configure/make process, there were no errors until compilation failed. Looking back at the configure output, I see: ...[clip]... checking for UCS-4 tcl... no ...[clip]... Because during make, it said: ...[clip]... /usr/src/Python-2.5/Modules/_tkinter.c:80:2: #error "Tk older than 8.2 not supported" /usr/src/Python-2.5/Modules/_tkinter.c:92:2: #error "unsupported Tcl configuration" ...[clip]...and many pages of:... /usr/src/Python-2.5/Modules/_tkinter.c:xxxx: errors Ok, so I upgraded the tk and tcl packages without incident. Now, Why during the clean re-configuration, do I get the same message, and also an error in the config.log that matches?? make did (appear to) finish ok Perhaps this may have relevance to the other bug. [ 1653753 ] crash / abort during install config.log is attached there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2007-02-12 13:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO Are you sure compilation (of Python) failed? If make finished ok, then the compilation indeed succeeded. Failure to build an extension module (such as Tkinter) is not considered a failure of the entire build. Instead, if the module cannot build (e.g. because the header files are missing), the build is just skipped (either entirely or partially). IOW, I cannot see a bug here; closing the report as "won't fix". If you want to find out why it didn't build _tkinter, you should check the compiler command line to find out where it found the Tcl header files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1653757&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
