rubisher <rubis...@scarlet.be> added the comment: Well a few spare time let me investigate this way: using gc[cj] libffi.
I so first install libffi-4.2.0-3 as well as libffi-devel-4.2.0-3 (not sure this last one is required, though) then configure python (2.6) with --with-system-ffi but it doesn't seems to be enough to locate libffi so I added symbolic links: /usr/lib/libffi.a -> ../../opt/freeware/lib/libffi.a /usr/include/ffi.h -> \ ../../opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/include/ffi.h /usr/include/ffitarget.h -> \ ../../opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.2.0/include/ffitarget.h After that I reach to compile python2.6.2 without error and at a first glance it seems to work fine (just rebuild bzr 1.17 and launch some cmdl, ;<)). Hope this could help for python3 and xlC, r. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6006> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
