John Levon <movem...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: This appears to be one of the few cases where there's incompatibilities between different versions of the standards. Old BSD sockets use msg_accrights*, whereas the more modern way is msg_control* pointing to a struct cmsghdr.
In terms of user/kernel interface, this difference is encoded as a MSG_XPG4_2 flag via a __xnet_recvmsg() re-define depending upon #ifdef _XPG4_2. The result being that it's impossible to use C99 and a modern struct msghdr together. This is less than ideal and I'm following it up internally. In terms of getting Python building again, it should be sufficient to define _XPG4_2 for the multiprocessing module compile only. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8864> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
