[issue2940] Building Python fails on SunOS

2008-05-22 Thread Adrian M 

New submission from Adrian M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

$ uname -a
SunOS ro1estw 5.9 Generic_117171-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880

gcc 2.6.3   


When running ./configure I'm getting warnings like: 
configure: WARNING: curses.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: curses.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: curses.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: curses.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: curses.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: curses.h: in the future, the compiler will take
precedence

This happens for many other headers as well (dlfcn.h, fcntl.h, and many
others  - i'll attach the whole list of messages). 

Then, the ./configure step ends with the following message :
checking size of int... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (int)

[issue2940] Building Python fails on SunOS

2008-05-23 Thread Adrian M 

Adrian M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Also, please check: http://bugs.python.org/issue1544306
(exactly the same issue that has just been closed because of the lack of
feedback from the original reporter)

Here is another (old) report referring to the very same issue happening
on Solaris:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1234473
(an issue that doesn't seem to be solved)

I have no idea whether this is a real "Python bug" or not. I'm just
reporting a build "issue" that I'm experiencing when trying to compile
python on this particular (non-typical) platform.

So, I have the access to this SunOS machine and the you (the Python
developers) have the knowledge. Let's just work together and try to
discover why the building process is not working out-of-the-box on
SunOS, rather that imply that it's not a real python bug.
