New submission from ysj.ray <ysj....@gmail.com>: The development guide(http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html) suggested that one can build with "--prefix=/dev/null" in order to avoid accidentally install it. But in the Modules/Setup.dist the zlib module is defined as:
zlib zlibmodule.c -I$(prefix)/include -L$(exec_prefix)/lib -lz So configure with "--prefix=/dev/null " and enable zlib in Module/Setup and then make results in such error: (debian 5) cc1: error: /dev/null/include: Not a directory Not sure if this is really a problem. But I need to modify the Module/Setup zlib line to """ zlib zlibmodule.c -L$(exec_prefix)/lib -lz """ instead of just uncomment it to make my build process success. I think it's better to be improved. ---------- components: Build messages: 134544 nosy: ysj.ray priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: build with --prefix=/dev/null and zlib enabled in Modules/Setup failed type: compile error versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11934> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
