[Python-Dev] Compiling 2.5.1 under Studio 11

[Ellinghaus, Lance]

Hello,

I am having a couple of issues compiling Python 2.5.1 under Sun Solaris
Studio 11 on Solaris 8.

Everything compiles correctly except the _ctypes module because it
cannot use the libffi that comes with Python and it does not exist on
the system.
Has anyone gotten it to compile correctly using Studio 11? I know it
will compile under GCC but I am not allowed to use GCC.

Also, during the pyexpat tests, Python generates a segfault. 

Are there any patches to fix these?

Thank you,

Lance

[Python-Dev] Problems compiling 2.6.1 on Solaris 10

[Ellinghaus, Lance]

I am hoping someone can assist me. I normally don't care if the _ctypes
module builds or not, but I now need to have it build.
I am running Solaris 10 with Sun's C compiler under SunStudio 11.

After running 'configure' and 'make', the _ctypes module fails with the
following error:

cc -xcode=pic32 -DNDEBUG -O -I. -I/data/python/Python-2.6.1/./Include
-Ibuild/temp.solaris-2.10-sun4u-2.6/libffi/include

cc: acomp failed for /data/python/Python-2.6.1/Modules/_ctypes/_ctypes.c

Is there anything special I have to do to get it to compile under
Solaris 10 and SunStudio 11?
BTW: I cannot use GCC.

Thank you very much,

Lance

Martin,
Thank you very much. At least I know what I need to do now.
