Python support,
This issue with not being able to build on Solaris 9 is easily fixed. I have
attached a patch with the fix for Python 2.7.
When linking with libpython-2.7.a, the linker will only extract modules that
satisfy dependencies emanating from python.o. There may be objects in the
archive that are not needed to satisfy any of these dependencies and those WILL
NOT be included in the executable.
The GNU linker supports two options that can be use to force the linker to
include ALL objects in the archive. Thus if you change the python link line
from:
$(BUILDPYTHON): Modules/python.o $(LIBRARY) $(LDLIBRARY)
$(LINKCC) $(LDFLAGS) $(LINKFORSHARED) -o $@ \
Modules/python.o \
$(BLDLIBRARY) $(LIBS) $(MODLIBS) $(SYSLIBS) $(LDLAST)
to:
$(BUILDPYTHON): Modules/python.o $(LIBRARY) $(LDLIBRARY)
$(LINKCC) $(LDFLAGS) $(LINKFORSHARED) -o $@ \
Modules/python.o \
-Wl,--whole-archive $(BLDLIBRARY) -Wl,--no-whole-archive \
$(LIBS) $(MODLIBS) $(SYSLIBS) $(LDLAST)
Then the problem is resolved.
For compiler toolchains that do not support the --whole-library option, you can
change the link to link with the individual .o files and not use the archive
library at all.
Let me know if I can be of any more help.
