Re: [BangPypers] Python 2.7.1 build successful, however many modules failed on HP-UX 11.31 ia64 with aCC
Hi Senthil, I want to provide an update here and close this issue. 1 and 2.) HP said +DD64 is not accepted by ld. So I am not utilizing the recommended setting in README file. Instead, I just pass +DD64 to CC, making it CC=cc +DD64 and there is no issue in the building process. The LDFLAGS and BASECFLAGS setting in the README file is also not used. The CXX=aCC is used. I have provided feedback to bugs.python.org. Not sure if they will revert to me in changing the README file. 3.) ActiveState is my last resort. I am able to build built-in modules like _tkinter now. I am using CC=cc +DD64 -I/home/r32813/local/include and LDFLAGS=-L/home/r32813/local/lib -lxnet and CXX=aCC only. /home/r32813/local is where I install my tcl/tk binary and library. : ). I am working on cx_Oracle build now. The module can be built however cannot be loaded. Hopefully I will make some progress soon. I may open another issue more specific to cx_Oracle later. : ) Thanks!

I would also suggest trying with binutils (if ld is from that package) and asking a very specific question as why +DD64 is not being recognized. 3.) Is ActiveState also one of the discussion group? Nope, it is a Python distribution with commercial support behind it. http://www.activestate.com/activepython/which-python-edition They have put AIX, Solaris, HP-UX under paid releases of Python. That would probably help with you installation and support. In terms of nature of the company with Open Source support, they are pretty trustworthy and have good reputation in the community.

[BangPypers] Python 2.7.1 build successful, however many modules failed on HP-UX 11.31 ia64 with aCC
Hello there, I am trying to build python 64-bit on HP Itanium platform with HP-UX Ansi C compiler. The python executable is successfully built however there are many errors generated when option +DD64 is passed in, many (more) modules failed to build (compared to 32-bit option is used). I followed the instruction in README file to set and unset the enviornment variables like CC, CXX, LDFLAGS and BASECFLAGS like below, and remove Optimization option in the Makefile, however, many modules failed to build. There are warning messages on the compilation which I can ignore, however, there are fatal errors that +DD64 is not a recognized flag in the linking process, with command ld. export CC=cc export CXX=aCC export BASECFLAGS=+DD64 export LDFLAGS=+DD64 -lxnet # swlist -l product | grep Compiler ACXX C.06.26.EVAL HP C/aC++ Compiler C-ANSI-C C.06.26.EVAL HP C/aC++ Compiler COMPLIBS B.11.31 Compiler Support Libraries Messages showing the linking process failed. I am not sure why the ld command cannot accept the flag while the Makefile contains this option when it is generated by ./configure --without-gcc command with 64-bit options enabled. ld -b +DD64 -lxnet build/temp.hp-ux-B.11.31-ia64-2.7/home/r32813/Build/2.7.1/Python-2.7.1/Modules/mathmodule.o build/temp.hp-ux-B.11.31-ia64-2.7/home/r32813/Build/2.7.1/Python-2.7.1/Modules/_math.o -L/usr/local/lib -lm -o build/lib.hp-ux-B.11.31-ia64-2.7/math.so ld: Unrecognized argument: +DD64 Fatal error. Here is the summary output of the build. I don't think I can use this python executable, so many important modules that I use failed to build. Compared to 32-bit build, I only have 2 modules . Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: _bsddb _curses _curses_panel _sqlite3 _ssl _tkinter bsddb185 bz2 dl gdbm imageop linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev readline spwd sunaudiodev zlib To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name. Failed to build these modules: _bisect _codecs_cn _codecs_hk _codecs_iso2022 _codecs_jp _codecs_kr _codecs_tw _collections _csv _ctypes _ctypes_test _elementtree _functools _heapq _hotshot _io _json _locale _lsprof _md5 _multibytecodec _multiprocessing _random _sha _socket _struct _testcapi array audioop binascii cmath cPickle crypt cStringIO datetime dbm fcntl future_builtins grp itertools math mmap nis operator parser pyexpat resource select strop syslog termios time unicodedata Appreciate any input on this issue when 64-bit option is passed into aCC that cause so many errors on my server.

Re: [BangPypers] Python 2.7.1 build successful, however many modules failed on HP-UX 11.31 ia64 with aCC
Thanks Senthil, 1.) Yes compiling and linking with gcc (32-bit) and acc (32-bit) has lesser errors, more modules built successfully compared to acc (64-bit). The main thing I discovered is +DD64 is not recognized as a valid flag in ld command (the linker). This command is automatically generated in Makefile. I have posted my question to bugs.python.org and the community there responded failure to build a module is not a bug and asked me to refer to other community. 2.) The reason I am sticking to acc is, I am also using tcl/tk. I have built tcl/tk with gcc however the tk (wish) crashes with a core dump file generated when gcc is used. Switching to acc, the tk can run without an issue. Also, I need Oracle plug-in in both python and tcl. Oracle only supports HP C Compiler stuffs and not gcc. All these resulted me to focus on acc to get all stuffs done. 3.) Yes I do see cType failed to build when gcc (32) and acc (32) is used. I didn't pursue with python bug community as I don't think I am using either module. What failed to build in 64-bit acc build really worried me. I don't think without those it is usable. ;p. ( From make test of acc 32-build and gcc 32-bit build) Failed to build these modules: _ctypes termios 4.) Let me try again with --enable-shared and revert. Thanks!
