Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is for Python 2.6.8 and 2.7.3.
From: python-dev-bounces+kristofer.wempa=sig....@python.org [mailto:python-dev-bounces+kristofer.wempa=sig....@python.org] On Behalf Of Wempa, Kristofer Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 10:49 AM To: python-dev@python.org Subject: [Python-Dev] ossaudiodev and linuxaudiodev not built on SLES11SP2 due to change in sys.platform 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 ________________________________ IMPORTANT: The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.
