Thanks, this looks like a decent start. I’m not that familiar with
cross-compiling Python, but here are a couple questions:
$(cd /path/to/source && pwd)/configure
Why do you use $(pwd) here? I have mainly seen relative paths used (my own
experiments, and reports from others), so I don’t think you need to force an
absolute path. The instructions further up already mention “../configure” from
a subdirectory.
--prefix=$(cd ../install && pwd)
Won’t that embed the path of the install directory in e.g. sys.prefix or
something? Can’t you use “DESTDIR=../install” instead?
I remember there are a bunch of extra things you have to manually configure to
cross-compile. See e.g. revision 12a56a349af2 which asks for /dev/ptmx and
/dev/ptc settings in a CONFIG_SITE file (although I have had success just
adding them to the “configure” command line). Perhaps we could add something
like
'''
configure --host=[. . .] \
ac_cv_file__dev_ptmx=no \
ac_cv_file__dev_ptc=no
. . .
If the target Python could use /dev/ptmx or /dev/ptc to implement os.openpty(),
set the corresponding argument to "yes".
'''
I suspect some people cross compile 2.7, so it may be worth applying something
like this to that branch.
