Well, one way might be to set up and maintain an HP/UX buildbot :)

Other than that, just keep bugging us periodically until someone gets around to 
doing it.

Just a small note: after this patch applied, building Python 2.7.1 was 
successful on Linux (SLES 11, RHEL 5, Ubuntu 10.10), Solaris 10, and HP-UX 11 
v3. (I didn't get to build Python on other platforms)

[issue11102] configure doesn't find major() on HP-UX v11.31

[Oren Held]

New submission from Oren Held o...@held.org.il:

The effect eventually is that on HP-UX v3 there are no os.major() and 
os.minor() functions.

I tried to dig deeper to find out what's wrong, and it seems that 'configure' 
script fails on 'major' check and thus disables the 'major' feature:

'configure' finds well that /usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h has makedev(), 
major(), minor() definitions (MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS==1).

The problem is that including sys/sysmacros.h is not enough, it depends (but 
doesn't #include) sys/types.h for the definition of dev_t (needed by makedev() 
macro).


See attached config.log for configure's behavior.

Oren Held o...@held.org.il added the comment:

Attaching a patch I've made for fixing the problem in HP-UX, simply by 
#including sys/types.h on the configure test..

1. I'm not sure it'll be good for all platforms; maybe we need more 'configure' 
magic here to make it #include sys/types.h on this configure test only when 
needed (e.g. HP-UX v3).

2. Once 'configure' decides to enable the os.major feature, 'make' simply 
compiles it well - I didn't have to fix things in Modules/posixmodule.c 
(apparently sys/types.h is already loaded). I'm not sure it's smart to count on 
it.

Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de added the comment:

AFAICT, including sys/types.h by default in the test should be fine. It's a 
standard header file (atleast for Posixish systems), so it should always be 
present, and including it shouldn't cause harm even if it's not needed.
