New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com>: setup.py detects the version of openssl by looking for openssl headers on a deduced search path. That path is not guaranteed to be equal to the real compiler search path, in particular not when building using the OSX 10.4 SDK on MacOSX 10.6: in that situation the compiler will use a header file with the following definition:
#define OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER 0x009070cfL While setup.py reads the header file in /usr/include which contains this definition: #define OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER 0x009080cfL The actual version is below the sha256 cutoff in setup.py, while setup.py detects a newer version that is above that cutoff. That results in a tree where setup.py tries to build _sha256 using OpenSSL, but fails. That in turn results in a build of hashlib that doesn't work. Note that this is a specific instance of Issue7724, but fixing this particular issue is probably easier than fixing the generic issue. ---------- assignee: tarek components: Build, Distutils messages: 103526 nosy: ronaldoussoren, tarek priority: critical severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: openssl version detection doesn't work properly when using OSX SDK type: compile error versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8444> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
