Steven D'Aprano added the comment: Ned, I know my system is old so I understand if 3.6 no longer supports gcc 4.1. Tell me what minimum version I should use (4.8?) and I'll find a way to upgrade or use another system.
Shouldn't the build system explicitly report that the compiler is too old, and suggest a minimum version, rather than just dump some random C-level error in the user's lap? There's a big gap between "able to run configure/make" and "able to diagnose configure/make errors" where users are currently not well provided for. It is very frustrating to deal with these sorts of errors especially when most of the help you get from the internet is "run make distclean and try again". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28092> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
