Nevermind, got the python build problem solved. Apparently, I have to specify CFLAGS=-m32 instead of OPT=-m32 on my platform.
Now I have a working 32bit installation of pyhton under /opt/pym32/ I now created a file named user-config.jam with the following content: using python : : /opt/pym32/bin/python ; as in the link posted by Charles. But the build still fails mentioning "In file included from /usr/include/python2.6/Python.h:58:0," so obviously the user-config.jam isn't being observed. Oh well, I just wanted to give boost.python a try and now I'm again spending a whole afternoon figuring out the different platform nightmares :( Philipp On 10/05/2010 05:24 PM, Stefan Seefeld wrote: > On 10/05/2010 11:07 AM, Philipp Münzel wrote: >> Hi Charles, >> >> thanks for the fast answer! >> So I downloaded python 2.7 source and did: >> >> OPT=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 ./configure --prefix=/opt/pym32 >> make >> >> Unfortunately, the build fails: >> >> /bin/sh: line 1: 23704 Segmentation fault CC='gcc -pthread' >> LDSHARED='gcc -pthread -shared' LDFLAGS='-m32' OPT='-DNDEBUG -m32' >> ./python -E ./setup.py build >> make: *** [sharedmods] Error 139 >> >> Any thoughts? > > I think you should bring this up on a more suitable forum, such as a > Python mailing list. > > Stefan > _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
