I don't see Brett's failure with a straight './configure && make' issued
from the top directory of a clean svn py3k checkout (r73082), but I do
see it with:
CC="gcc -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib" ./configure && make
I'm on OS X 10.5.7, and have a MacPorts version of libintl installed as
/opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib. The configure script correctly defines
HAVE_LIBINTL_H to 1, and later detects that libintl *is* needed, and
consequently defines WITH_LIBINTL, but then as far as I can tell does
nothing further with that define.
In the patch (locale_fix.patch), I don't understand this bit:
+ if test $have_intl
+ then
+ LINKFORSHARED="$extra_undefs -lintl"
+ else
+ LINKFORSHARED="$extra_undefs -framework
CoreFoundation"
+ fi
Why is the "-framework CoreFoundation" bit not included if $have_intl is
set? When I apply your patch and rebuild as above I get a different
failure:
gcc -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib -lintl -o python.exe \
Modules/python.o \
libpython3.1.a -ldl
Undefined symbols:
"_CFStringConvertEncodingToIANACharSetName", referenced from:
_PyLocale_getdefaultlocale in libpython3.1.a(_localemodule.o)
"_CFStringGetSystemEncoding", referenced from:
_PyLocale_getdefaultlocale in libpython3.1.a(_localemodule.o)
"_CFStringGetCStringPtr", referenced from:
_PyLocale_getdefaultlocale in libpython3.1.a(_localemodule.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [python.exe] Error 1
But if I apply your patch and also add the "-framework CoreFoundation"
bit back in, then the build succeeds.
Also note that there's already a check for whether libintl is needed
in configure.in, at around line 1820:
# check if we need libintl for locale functions
AC_CHECK_LIB(intl, textdomain,
AC_DEFINE(WITH_LIBINTL, 1,
[Define to 1 if libintl is needed for locale functions.]))
Probably we don't need both checks.
And a nitpick: it looks as though the tabbing in your patch isn't
consistent with the surrounding configure code.
