Martin Panter added the comment: IMO this is a fault of the autowhatever configuration stuff, not just an enhancement. If configure.ac determines that there is no st_blocks field, it tries to link against a non-existant fileblocks.o file:
./mingw/Makefile:220:LIBOBJS= ${LIBOBJDIR}fileblocks$U.o i486-mingw32-gcc: error: Python/fileblocks.o: No such file or directory I am not really an autoconf or whatever expert, but it seems if you use a lower-level bit of configure.ac code it avoids the problem; see avoid-fileblocks.patch. ---------- components: -Cross-Build nosy: +martin.panter type: enhancement -> compile error Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42123/avoid-fileblocks.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17603> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
