Hi --
In order to debug a python extension module that I'm writing, I'd like to
create a variant of python that links with electric fence. I edited
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/lang/python25/Portfile,
adding these lines at the end:
variant efence {
configure.args-append --with-libs=efence
}
When I try to install the variant, using
% sudo port -v install python25 +efence
I get
> ---> Configuring python25
> [...]
> checking for getaddrinfo... no
> Fatal: You must get working getaddrinfo() function.
> or you can specify "--disable-ipv6".
> shell command " cd
> "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_python25/work/Python-2.5.5"

If I follow the advice and add --disable-ipv6, I just get another error,
"cannot compute sizeof (wchar_t)". Clearly I'm doing something wrong in the
Portfile, since the port builds without the +efence variant, and adding one
library shouldn't cause these errors. Am I somehow accidentally telling it to
skip default libraries? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
