Category: Build Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Submitted By: Bosko Vukov (bvukov) Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: init_types Initial Comment: I tried to build the final version of Python 2.5, and found that function init_types in file Python-ast.c is created as int init_types(void) .... but in file config.c it's declared as extern void init_types(void); Visual Studio 2005 didn't want to build the project until I changed the config.c to be the same... extern int init_types(void); Nothing big ;) Regards, Bosko ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Coatimundi (coatimundi) Date: 2006-10-02 18:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1611513 I am expereincing the problem described by the original poster. I undertand that MSVC8 is not officially supported, and I'm trying anyway. I downloaded the 2.5.0 final tarball and began working in the PCbuild8 directory. Firts off, I found that I had to build two projects before pythoncore would build: make_versioninfo make_buildinfo When I tried to build pythoncore, I got the linker error saying that _init_types could not be found. So I added _typesmodule.c to the pythoncore project. Finally, pythoncore built cleanly. Next up, I wanted to build pythoncore_pgo. So I added _typesmodule to this project also. But try as I might, every attempt to build pythoncore_pgo produces the link error on _init_types. (I also did a 'clean' on pythoncore just to be safe.) I do not understand this. Unlike the original poster, I have not modified any source. It seems like the definition of pyMODINIT_FUNC as extern "C" void might be involved, but I agree with gbrandl that the static int in Python-ast.c is not the issue, because that is a different scope. So the linkage problem with pythoncore_pgo remains a mystery to me. I hope someone has more clues than me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-10-02 14:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Notice that the PCbuild8 directory isn't really supported... In any case, the bug is that PCbuild8 does not have the reference to _typesmodule, not that init_types in Python-ast.c is static. If you revert your change to Python-ast.c, and change pythoncore.vcproj, it should build fine. This is already fixed in r51751 in the trunk; not sure whether backporting it is necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bosko Vukov (bvukov) Date: 2006-09-30 17:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1292849 I opened solution file from folder PCbuild8, and inside project file pythoncore.vcproj there is no reference to _typesmodule.c. It exists in pythoncore.vcproj in the PBbuild folder ( for older version's ). I added the missing _typesmodule.c inside, and returned back the changes I made, and aft er that linker reported 'Python-ast.obj : error LNK2005: _init_types already defined in _typesmodule.obj' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-09-30 11:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 The problem is another one: The config.c init_types function belongs to the _types module, while the Python-ast.c init_types is an internal function. They shouldn't clash. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1568243&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
