I've had success building the 4-way framework build using Ron's instructions, but I can't seem to get it building with readline linked in.

The relevant info seems to be

I built a static readline 6.0 so that libreadline.a and libhistory.a are both 4-architecture fat binaries, and configured python with ./configure --with-framework-name=Python64 --with-universal- archs=all --enable-framework --enable-universalsdk=/ --with-libs='- lexpat -lreadline -lncurses' --with-readline=$HOME/readline MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/dwf/readline/lib but alas it still doesn't seem to build with readline. Any hints on how to get this working?

Not quite, you've removed the bit where the build process tries to compile the readline extension.

checking how to link readline libs... -lreadline
checking for rl_callback_handler_install in -lreadline... yes
rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory
checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... yes
checking for rl_completion_display_matches_hook in -lreadline... yes
checking for rl_completion_matches in -lreadline... no
rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory
checking for broken nice()... no

and during make:

Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_bsddb             dl                 gdbm
imageop            linuxaudiodev      ossaudiodev
readline           spwd               sunaudiodev

To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.

  cd $PYTHONSRC/Mac/BuildScript
  $ ./build-installer.py --dep-target=10.5 --universal-args=all



Ronald

The easiest way to build a 4-way universal binary with readline support is to use my release script: This should work with Python 2.6.2 and later (it definitely works with the current version of the 2.6 branch in subversion, as well as the trunk and 3.x branch)

Thanks,

David
