New submission from Gergö Barany: Trying to configure Python (3.3 and 3.4 prerelease from Mercurial) with --enable-profiling doesn't work because the configure script contains a syntax error that causes it to conclude that the C compiler does not accept the -pg flag:
$ ../cpython/configure --enable-profiling | grep prof configure: WARNING: By default, distutils will build C++ extension modules with "g++". If this is not intended, then set CXX on the configure command line. ../cpython/configure: line 5537: CC: command not found checking for --enable-profiling... no Everything (configure/build/running Python) continues as if --enable-profiling had not been passed. This is due to using $(CC) rather than the correct syntax $CC at the specified place in the configure script. The attached patch to configure.ac fixes this. ---------- files: enable-profiling.patch keywords: patch messages: 185269 nosy: gergo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: --enable-profiling does nothing (shell syntax bug in configure.ac) type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29580/enable-profiling.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17550> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
