Good thought. Unfortunately, the best match (for version 2.5.1 doesn't
quite match the version of 2.4 that's packaged with OpenSolaris (2.4.4
- I know it's old but it's what we have)... but I'll hack away and see
how it goes.
So, it seems there are a few mild issues I have to take care of in general:
One mild issue was that, on OpenSolaris, pycc is essentially Sun's cc,
rather than gcc, so the default flags in setup.py are bad (that was
fixed easily enough - grep is my fwiend)
Also, this is the big one, I have an already-built version of
libreadline (installed from a 3rd party repo, but the next version of
Opensolaris will probably package it)... so I'd rather not get
setup.py rebuilding that (which it apparently tries to do), so I'd
like to point it to my existing version, and have it link from there.
Do I have to hack setup.py even more, or can I use some magic
environment variables for this?
And as a final stumbling block (although this is easily fixable when
hacking in setup.py) we have the line reading:
platforms=['MacOS'],
as a parameter to setup() - is this likely to make a difference, or is
it metadata that's largely ignored?
Any help is appreciated as I'm new to easy_install/setuptools/disttools.
Cheers,
Aoife
