[issue4064] distutils.util.get_platform() is wrong for universal builds on macosx

Ned Deily added the comment: 10.3 is a red herring, that is the deployment target and is as expected. If you install the current proper versions of Xcode for your 10.4 or later systems, things will work as designed. Again, this is not the proper forum to discuss build problems. If you still

[issue4064] distutils.util.get_platform() is wrong for universal builds on macosx

Michael Wise added the comment: Dear Ned Odd you should say that. The system is the latest version of 10.4 (10.4.11), but I did notice that the compiler assumed 10.3. The version of Xcode on this PowerBook G4 is 2.0 (quite old), so perhaps it has OSX 10.3 wired in. I don't think that was

Michael Wise added the comment: Dear Ronald Not that simple. I had, for the first time, installed Python 2.6.3 via the .dmg rather than compiled from scratch, and then numpy, again via the .dmg. I was trying to compile biopython from scratch using disutils when the problem occurred. That was

Michael Wise added the comment: While the discussion seems to think the matter is closed, I wanted to install numpy 1.30 which requires Python 2.6 and all my machines are PPC (G4 or G5 - nice architectures). gcc-4.0 -arch ppc -arch i386 -fno-strict-aliasing ... followed, unsurprisingly, by: g

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I've committed the patch with some documentation in r67988, with a backport to 2.6.x in r67989. r67990 (not backported) is a minor update of the patch, it adds explicit support code for all three variants that are configurable through the configure script. I

[issue4064] distutils.util.get_platform() is wrong for universal builds on macosx

Ronald Oussoren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The basic idea is that the architecture bit of get_platform() should tell you something about the archicture for which a build is valid. That's why 'i386' or 'ppc' is not very useful for a universal build. The original author of the univer

[issue4064] distutils.util.get_platform() is wrong for universal builds on macosx

New submission from Ronald Oussoren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: When using a universal build of python on macosx distutils.util.get_platform should use "fat" for the machine architecture, instead of the architecture of the current machine. That's not what's currently happening: $ python26 -c 'from d
