 Why are you building with --with-universal-archs=64-bit
 --enable-universalsdk on Solaris ?
 
 Those options should only be used for Mac OS X.
 
 Python currently does not support building universal binaries
 on Solaris.
 
 If you're still having problems, you might want to look at this
 patch:
 
 http://bugs.python.org/issue1628484
 
 If it works for you, please add a comment.
 

I can't answer the question about univeral binaries because I'm not 
building it myself. As a software developer I can build our software 
releases on the Solaris boxes but I have to ask one of the sysadmins to 
install new software on there and the one tring to install Python for us 
ran into problems.

Thanks for the comments - I will take a look at that patch and see if it 
helps. However, from the sound of it I think the next step may be for me 
to either sit with him or build it myself and then tell him what he needs 
to do.

Whatever we end up doing I will try to post an update on here about how 
we resolve this.

Thanks,

Judy

Building Python on Solaris 10?

[Judy Booth]

Can anyone point me towards some instructions for building Python on 
Solaris 10?
We need this for some of our test scripts and so far we cannot get this 
to build.

We have tried both Python 2.6.4 and 3.1.1 and both fail with messages 
like this:
Include/pyport.h:685:2: #error LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for 
platform (bad gcc/glibc config?).
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `Modules/python.o'

The configure command used is:
./configure --with-universal-archs=64-bit --enable-universalsdk 
LDFLAGS=-s
-L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/ssl/lib -lgcc --prefix=/opt/python
--prefix=${PREFIX}

and the compiler version is gcc 3.4.3.

A search on Google showed this up as a problem several years ago and 
suggested that there might be a problem with the way configure is working 
on Solaris.

If anyone can help with this that would be great.

Thanks,

Judy
