Line 59 of samba4.0.0-alpha11/source4/utils/net.c file, at line 59 uses "Py_ssize_t", which was not defined in Python until Python 2.5. This causes havoc trying to compile it on RHEL 5, which uses Python 2.4 and which I cannot recommend upgrading the Python for in a production server environment. (I've tried that: it causes dependency hell in RHEL.)
So, I suggest adding this patch to allow successful compilation with older RHEL versions. The code is duplicated from wml_wrap.c, and seems to behave correctly in my casual testing. --- samba-4.0.0alpha11/source4/utils/net/net.c.oldpython 2010-01-11 00:35:28.000000000 -0500 +++ samba-4.0.0alpha11/source4/utils/net/net.c 2010-08-22 11:44:59.000000000 -0400 @@ -52,6 +52,15 @@ #include <Python.h> #include "scripting/python/modules.h" +/* Py_ssize_t for old Pythons */ +/* This code is as recommended by: */ +/* http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/#conversion-guidelines */ +#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x02050000 && !defined(PY_SSIZE_T_MIN) +typedef int Py_ssize_t; +# define PY_SSIZE_T_MAX INT_MAX +# define PY_SSIZE_T_MIN INT_MIN +#endif + static PyObject *py_tuple_from_argv(int argc, const char *argv[]) { PyObject *l; -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
