Hi, I've successfully compiled p4python with modified setup.py the key to success was to split extra_compile_args's argument '-arch' into 2 args.
below is fixed part: [code] ext_modules=[Extension("P4Client", [ "P4Clientmodule.cc" ], include_dirs=[ os.path.join( p4_api_dir, "include", "p4" ) ], library_dirs=[ os.path.join( p4_api_dir, "lib" ) ], libraries=["client", "rpc", "supp"], # P4API libs extra_compile_args=["-DCASE_INSENSITIVE", "-fpascal-strings", "-isysroot", "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk", "-DOS_MACOSX", "-DOS_MACOSX104" , "-arch", "ppc" ,"-D%s" % p4_api_ver], extra_link_args=[ "-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" , "-arch", "ppc" , "-framework", "System" , "-framework", "CoreFoundation" , "-framework", "Carbon" ], )] [/code] hope it will help --- Original Message: --- And this followed by an setup.py install seemed to work just fine. Ok so now I need to backport these options into setup.py. Here is what I came up with.. elif os.name == "posix": setup(name=NAME, version=VERSION, description=DESCRIPTION, author=AUTHOR, author_email=AUTHOR_EMAIL, maintainer=MAINTAINER, maintainer_email=MAINTAINER_EMAIL, license=LICENSE, url=URL, keywords=KEYWORDS, classifiers = filter(None, classifiers.split("\n")), long_description = "\n".join(doclines[2:]), py_modules=PY_MODULES, ext_modules=[Extension("P4Client", ["P4Clientmodule.cc"], include_dirs=[p4_api_dir], library_dirs=[p4_api_dir], libraries=["client", "rpc", "supp"], # P4API libs extra_compile_args=["-DCASE_INSENSITIVE", "-fpascal-strings", "-isysroot/Developer/ SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk", "-DOS_MACOSX", "- DOS_MACOSX104", "-DOS_MACOSXPPC", "- DOS_MACOSX104PPC" ,"-D%s" % p4_api_ver], extra_link_args=[ "-Wl,-syslibroot,/ Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk", "-arch ppc", "-framework Carbon" ], )]) But low and behold it didn't work... In the course of debugging I found that the compile works. The linking appears to be a problem. In the link stage I see the command which is being run looks very similar to my command g++ -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup build/temp.macosx-10.3-ppc-2.5/ P4Clientmodule.o \ -Lp4api6.1 -lclient -lrpc -lsupp -o build/lib.macosx-10.3-ppc-2.5/ P4Client.so \ -Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -framework Carbon Not quite the same but close enough. HERE is where the bug shows up........ If I rerun this same EXACT command at the command line - followed by a setup.py install it works. Can someone with a larger python brain than mine please help me figure this out? It's bugging the crap out fo me... -- BR.
