New submission from Ben Kaplan <benjamin.kap...@case.edu>: Comes from this thread on comp.lang.python: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/e15915df2e9cdd9/
The Makefile for distutils in the Mac binary for Python 3.1 specifies the use of the OS X 10.4u SDK. However, XCode only includes the SDK for the newest two versions of OS X, currently 10.5 and 10.6. This causes build problems with gmpy on OS X Snow Leopard and the newest XCode. It probably will also cause problems on other libraries that are compiled using distutils but I've seen no other reports of issues. I don't know enough about makefiles to come up with a patch that would work on all supported versions of OS X. The offending code is line 118 in the Makefile, which installs itself in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/config/Makefile. The line is UNIVERSALSDK=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk Here's a copy of Mensanator's errors: $ /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin/python3 setup.py install running install running build running build_ext building 'gmpy' extension creating build/temp.macosx-10.3-fat-3.1 creating build/temp.macosx-10.3-fat-3.1/src Compiling with an SDK that doesn't seem to exist: /Developer/SDKs/ MacOSX10.4u.sdk Please check your Xcode installation gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk - fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -I./src -I/ opt/local/include -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/ include/python3.1 -c src/gmpy.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.3-fat-3.1/src/ gmpy.o In file included from src/gmpy.c:206: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/include/python3.1/ Python.h:11:20: error: limits.h: No such file or directory /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/include/python3.1/ Python.h:14:2: error: #error "Something's broken.
