Hi David, The error message reported by the Python build itself reports that it didn't find the necessary bits to build zlib:
Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: _bsddb _sqlite3 bsddb185 bz2 dbm dl gdbm imageop readline sunaudiodev zlib To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name. After digging through detect_modules and the CMake files I think the issue is that detect_modules looks at CPPFLAGS. I've tried modifying External_Python.cmake with set(ENV(CPPFLAGS) -I@ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR@) but this did not seem to be propagated to the environment configure read from, as config.log indicated that CPPFLAGS was set to the empty string. Any suggestions how to correctly thread this through? Thanks, Matt On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 10:01 AM, David Partyka <[email protected]> wrote: > I have but of course I wrote it ;-).
