I'm playing with a BeagleBone Black running the angstrom distro. Of course,
stock python is 2.7, I'd rather use python3. There isn't a python3 package
available for angstrom. So I downloaded the source and compiled. It seemed to
work pretty well. I used the basic approach outlined in the REAMDE:
./configure
make
make test
make install
Now, I want to repeat the process, but be a little more judicious about what
all is compiled. For example, I don't really need tk stuff (in fact, it just
kept telling me it wasn't there). And there's probably a number of other
modules/libraries in the kitchen sink known as the stock install, that I could
forgo on a tiny little computer like this.
I see, looking at ./configure --help | less, that I could provide
--disable-FEATURE and --without-PACKAGE directives to my ./configure
invocation. But what I don't see is how to generate a list of what
FEATURES/PACKAGES I could put there for consideration of omission. Is there
some magic juju that generates that?
Should I have asked this question on python-dev instead? Not currently
subscribed there… but would if that would generate more informed responses.
pydev is for concrete discussion of developing future CPython releases.
Questions about using current releases belong here. If you cannot get an
answer after a week, because no one knows or can get the answer, then
there might be a case for improving something.
