I spent a little time this morning looking into these warnings I get when building mpl from source, for example:
----------------------------------------------------- In file included from /usr/include/python2.4/Python.h:13, from ./CXX/Objects.hxx:9, from ./CXX/Extensions.hxx:19, from src/_backend_agg.h:8, from src/_wxagg.cpp:48: /usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h:838:1: warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined In file included from /usr/include/features.h:8, from /usr/include/gentoo-multilib/amd64/string.h:26, from /usr/include/string.h:8, from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/include/g++-v4/cstring:53, from src/_wxagg.cpp:38: /usr/include/gentoo-multilib/amd64/features.h:154:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition ----------------------------------------------------- These warnings come from the "#include Python.h" statements, although I haven't been able to track down the exact reason. (This problem was discussed on python-dev, http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-June/054214.html, but I wasn't able to improve mpl's code based on that discussion.) The following patch allows mpl to build without warnings on my system (it is hackish, I don't intend to commit it.) Would anyone please care to comment?
