Joshua Kinard <ku...@gentoo.org> added the comment: Gotcha. Not sure how far off Gentoo is from supporting 2.6 -- our primary package manager relies on it, so the updates tend to be slow. for moving to new versions.
Do you guys maintain any kind of an "internals" guide to the build system anywhere? Like an outline or such of what happens from start to finish when you run setup.py (I think that's the start, anyways)? I see there's quite a bit of autotools components plugged in, but it's intermixed with some of the python code itself. Looking at some of the other bugs, there definitely seems to be some cross-compiling capability that's made it in -- as evidenced by a good chunk of the core build cross-compiling fine (the _Socket extension is the one glaring error I'm after at the moment). So it looks like it just needs some better touch up....on 2.5 at least. Currently, we're using the patch from Issue #1115, and I'm going to take a stab at adapting the 2.5.1 patch in Issue #1597850 to see if it takes me any farther. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5404> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
