Category: Build Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add DarwinPorts directories to setup.py Initial Comment: In this thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-January/059838.html It was brought up that Python doesn't build readline properly on MacOS X. This patch adds DarwinPorts include and lib directories on the appropriate paths in the setup.py script, which just happens <wink> to have the side-effect of getting a usable readline module built. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Trent Mick (tmick) Date: 2006-01-23 16:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=34892 Barry, Brett specifically *removed* the Fink and DarwinPorts dirs from setup.py for the more generic mechanism (that Ronald described) in this change: http://svn.python.org/view?rev=37988&view=rev My personal preference is for the current state (don't automatically pick up Fink and DarwinPorts stuff) but I can see the case for wanting this stuff to "just work" for naive usage of "./configure; make". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Date: 2006-01-23 14:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=580910 I don't really like this, although this would give DP the same treatment as Fink. IMHO it would be better to search in the directories provided in LDFLAGS and/or OPT, that way users can choose if they want to use software from DP (or Fink). Most of the required functionality seems to be there already. The only thing that's missing is enhancing variables like search_for_ssl_incs_in based on the include directories in OPT, but that's not necessary to pick up readline support. E.g. '.../configure ... OPT=-I/opt/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/include' should do the trick without patching python. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1411588&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
