I have asked about this before, but back then I knew nothing about
building anything from source. This time I have a little more
experience, so maybe I can better describe what's going on?
If I run ./configure with no options, it configures fine, and I can
make and make install with only sqlite messing up (which I don't even
care about). This is good, but the only reason I want to build from
source is to have a 64-bit version of python that can use more of my
ram for an image manipulation project I am working on. but when I try
./configure --enable-universalsdk --with-universal-archs=64-bit
the configure fails when it is checking the size of different types.
This also fails with 'all' or 3-way as the arch type This is the
output right before the configure fails
checking size of int... 0
checking size of long... 0
checking size of void *... 0
checking size of short... 0
checking size of float... 0
checking size of double... 0
checking size of fpos_t... 0
checking size of size_t... configure: error: in `/Users/Administrator/
Downloads/Python-2.7.3':
configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (size_t)
See `config.log' for more details
I know that 64-bit python on powermacs isn't supported. I just want to
know if anyone has seen this before and/or has any tips to point me
towards a successful build. Please don't tell me "Get an Intel mac".
that's not helpful :p Thanks!
P.S. I tried with --enable-universalsdk=/ and It pretended to build
and install fine, but when I tried arch -ppc64 python2.7, i got
arch: posix_spawnp: python2.7: Bad CPU type in executable
Again, does anyone know why this is? Is there a better directory for
me to use for --enable-unversalsdk? And if I make gcc an alias for
gcc-4.2 in my .bash_profile, does that change what make uses when it
tries to use gcc? I have had problems with gcc before (it is version
4.0.1 on my computer) but gcc-4.2 has fixed my problems before. Any
tips or ideas? Don't be afraid to be technical in answers, or to point
me to references. Thanks again for any help!
