New issue 2053: lib_pypy/gdbm.py: package.py produces binary on OS X with hard-coded path https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issue/2053/lib_pypy-gdbmpy-packagepy-produces-binary
dmw: Prior to CFFI 1.0, gdbm.py would be compiled on first import of the module on OS X, causing either a descriptive exception or a successful compilation against the user's installed version. However, OS X does not ship with GDBM, one must install if from Homebrew (/usr/local/lib), MacPorts (/opt/local/lib), pkgsrc (/usr/pkg/lib) or one of the various custom binaries around. A subsequent run of package.py will produce a gdbm.so with a load command hard-wired to the path to GDBM on the build machine. Perhaps consider disabling static compilation of GDBM on OS X? I think the remaining alternative is to require a specific GDBM distribution, or bundle GDBM with PyPy, which probably presents some fun licensing issue. _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
