hi,
As I had promised, I tried making python debs under the hurd.
I had a problem compiling the sources. The configure script tries to
search for a file called mach/cthreads.h, but this file is present in
/usr/include/ and not in /usr/include/mach/. Because of this the
build fails beyond a point. I have the foll. qns.
1) Is hurd the only OS to use mach/cthreads? i.e. is this line in the
configure specific to hurd??
a) If it is I can edit the configure, remove mach/ and tell
the python debian maintainer to make this change.
b) If it is not then is it ok to make a link from
/usr/include/mach/ to ../cthreads (relative to
/usr/include/mach ofcourse)?
Once this issue is solved I shall proceed with the build.
thanks,
prabhu
