Hi:
I've installed the python-2.1.1 package on a 4.3-RELEASE system,
and in the process of building zope, discovered that python is
configured with:
/* Define if the compiler provides a wchar.h header file. */
#define HAVE_WCHAR_H 1
...Which I gather is a lie for 4.3. I'm assuming that either STABLE or
CURRENT *does* have wchar.h.
This leads to questions:
1 - Are port packages built on a CURRENT system?
2 - Is it wrong to install packages on anything but a bleedin' edge
current system?
3 - If it isn't wrong, then what is the expected way of dealing with
problems like the above?
Maybe I'm goofy, but it seems like packages should be built for *compatibility*
which would mean building them on something older than either STABLE or
CURRENT, since they are then automatically compatible with newer systems.
