I am currently working on porting our Linux tool chains to SuSe Enterprise
Linux 11 service pack 2 (SLES11SP2). During this process, we noticed an issue
due to a change in the sys.platform string. Previously, the string was
"linux2" and it has now changed to "linux3". This seems to be due to a change
in the kernel version. This causes the ossaudiodev and linuxaudiodev modules
to be omitted from the build. I found the relevant code in setup.py:
if platform == 'linux2':
# Linux-specific modules
exts.append( Extension('linuxaudiodev', ['linuxaudiodev.c']) )
else:
missing.append('linuxaudiodev')
if platform in ('linux2', 'freebsd4', 'freebsd5', 'freebsd6',
'freebsd7', 'freebsd8'):
exts.append( Extension('ossaudiodev', ['ossaudiodev.c']) )
else:
missing.append('ossaudiodev')
Since neither of these account for "linux3", they are both omitted from the
build. I can simply modify the code to include "linux3" so that these modules
are built on the new platform. However, I wanted to check and see whether they
are specifically being omitted for a reason or if the setup file just wasn't
ported and tested against the new platform. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Kris
