I have added Python2 to the book for backward compatibility. When both versions 2 and 3 are built, the executables are:
2 9501 /usr/bin/python 1 16 /usr/bin/python-config -> python2.7-config 2 9501 /usr/bin/python2.7 1 1618 /usr/bin/python2.7-config 3 12339 /usr/bin/python3 1 16 /usr/bin/python3-config -> python3.2-config 3 12339 /usr/bin/python3.2 1 17 /usr/bin/python3.2-config -> python3.2m-config 3 12339 /usr/bin/python3.2m 1 1820 /usr/bin/python3.2m-config 1 19 /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so -> libpython2.7.so.1.0 1 6389835 /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0 1 20 /usr/lib/libpython3.2m.so -> libpython3.2m.so.1.0 1 7088886 /usr/lib/libpython3.2m.so.1.0 1 5066 /usr/lib/libpython3.so Note that the first column is the number of hard links. These do not seem to conflict. However the book has 61 references to Python in other packages and they all point to Python3. I need some help in figuring out which are OK pointing to Python3 and which need to be changed to Python2. The packages are listed below. If anyone is building these packages, I'd appreciate a note here if Python3 fails and Python2 succeeds. The fix is trivial. We just need to change the link in the affected package, <xref linkend="python"/>, from "python" to "python2". -- Bruce basicnet/mailnews/fetchmail.xml basicnet/netlibs/libproxy.xml basicnet/netprogs/subversion.xml basicnet/netutils/avahi.xml basicnet/netutils/wireshark.xml general/genlib/iso-codes.xml general/genlib/libxslt.xml general/genlib/gamin.xml general/genlib/glib2.xml general/genlib/libglade.xml general/genlib/libgsf.xml general/genlib/libxml2.xml general/genlib/dbus-bindings.xml general/genlib/gobject-introspection.xml general/genlib/telepathy-glib.xml general/genlib/boost.xml general/prog/doxygen.xml general/prog/pdl.xml general/prog/python-modules.xml general/graphlib/lcms.xml general/graphlib/librsvg.xml general/graphlib/exiv2.xml general/genutils/pilot-link.xml general/genutils/gtk-doc.xml general/genutils/graphviz.xml general/genutils/recode.xml gnome/add/at-spi.xml gnome/add/hamster-applet.xml gnome/core/gnome-menus.xml gnome/core/gnome-doc-utils.xml gnome/otherlibs/libglade14.xml kde/add/kdeutils.xml kde/devel/kdebindings.xml kde/devel/kdevelop.xml kde4/add/kde4admin.xml kde4/add/kde4pimruntime.xml kde4/add/kde4pim.xml kde4/add/kde4plasmaaddons.xml kde4/add/kde4accessibility.xml kde4/core/kde4bindings.xml multimedia/libdriv/gstreamer.xml multimedia/libdriv/libmusicbrainz.xml multimedia/libdriv/farsight2.xml multimedia/libdriv/gst-plugins-base.xml multimedia/libdriv/gst-plugins-ugly.xml multimedia/libdriv/gst-plugins-good.xml postlfs/security/cracklib.xml postlfs/editors/vim.xml pst/printing/cups.xml server/other/virtuoso.xml server/databases/postgresql.xml server/major/samba3.xml x/wm/xfce.xml x/installing/xcb-proto.xml x/lib/xulrunner.xml xsoft/graphweb/firefox.xml xsoft/other/thunderbird.xml xsoft/other/xchat.xml xsoft/other/pidgin.xml xsoft/suites/openoffice.xml xsoft/suites/koffice.xml -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
