New submission from Matthias Klose: Currently there is only one platform directory for all linux architectures, there are two reasons to have a separate directory for each architecture:
- the contents of the files in this directory differ (most prominent case are the RTLD_* constants on various architectures). - The _sysconfigdata.py module is installed in the platdir. A cross build of the extensions in the standard library is done by running the python interpreter for the build machine with the platdir for the host machine. This currently works for cross builds targeting a different os, but not cross building from one linux architecture to another. This would then remove Lib/plat-linux and introduce some Lib/plat-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET) directories. ---------- components: Installation files: platdir.diff keywords: patch messages: 241143 nosy: doko, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: rename the platform directory from plat-$(MACHDEP) to plat-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET) versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39049/platdir.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23968> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
