I did build Python 2.5 on a Solaris 10 Ultra 20 machine (Opteron) but using the SUN compilers. Two changes were needed in the Makefile: CXX=CC and CCSHARED=-KPIC.
There are a few issues which I have not investigated further (like Tcl and ffitarget.h), but the tests pass except for 3 unexpected skips. Other than that, Python 2.5 seems to be running fine, so far. Also, I am using the Python 2.4 build for Solaris build from ActiveState as well as Python 2.3.3 which is distributed with Solaris in /usr/sfw/bin. /Jean Brouwers Martijn de Munnik wrote: > Hi, > > I want to compile python on my solaris 10 system (amd 64 bit). > > I did the following: > > ./configure --prefix=/opt/64/python > make > > which resulted in this error: > "Include/pyport.h", line 730: #error: "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong > for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)." > > so I edited the file and removed the error line and did a configure and > make again after a make distclean. > > after a new make I get this error complaining about 32 and 64 bit. > > ld: fatal: file Parser/acceler.o: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 > > when I look to the cc statements none of my CFLAGS are passed while these > are in my environment; > > CC=cc > CFLAGS=-xO3 -mt -fsimple=1 -ftrap=%none -nofstore -xbuiltin=%all -xlibmil > -xlibmopt -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64 -xregs=no%frameptr > CXX=CC > CXXFLAGS=-xO3 -mt -fsimple=1 -ftrap=%none -nofstore -xbuiltin=%all > -xlibmil -xlibmopt -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64 -xregs=no%frameptr > LDFLAGS=-xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64 > > > anybody succesfully compiled python on solaris? > > thanks, > martijn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
