New submission from David Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Doing a plan "configure" then "make"; the compilation breaks due to // style comments in a file called Objects/frameobject.c:
cc_r -qlanglvl=extc89 -c -DNDEBUG -O -I. -IInclude -I./Include - DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Objects/frameobject.o Objects/frameobject.c "Objects/frameobject.c", line 520.9: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. Full transcript attached. Furthermore, attempting to select a more permissive (better?) compiler, with "CC=c99 ./configure --without-gcc" for example, doesn't work because of the bug reported in http://bugs.python.org/issue1633863 (CC is ignored). I will comment separately in that issue. It is my understanding (per my blog article http://drj11.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/python-and-bragging-about-c89/ ) that the code is now c89 clean (or at least as clean as «gcc -std=c89 - Werror» can make it. That means you should be able to close this bug fairly quickly. :) After I've hacked the configure script the build still fails, but for different reasons. I'll file another bug for that. ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: py26aix61script1 messages: 74229 nosy: drj severity: normal status: open title: C99 comments in Python 2.6 break build on AIX 6.1 type: compile error versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file11687/py26aix61script1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4025> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
