Re: [Python-Dev] Python-Dev Digest, Vol 35, Issue 143
Hi all, I have been trying for some time to build Python 2.4.x from source on OS X 10.4.6. I've found *numerous* postings on various mailing lists and web pages documenting the apparently well-known problems of doing so. Various problems arise either in the ./configure step, with configure arguments that don't work, or in the compile, or in my case in the link step with libtool. The configure options I'm using are the following: --enable-framework --with-pydebug --with-debug=yes --prefix=/usr --with-dyld --program-suffix=.exe --enable-universalsdk I've managed to get past configure and can compile everything, but in the link I get the error "Undefined symbols: ___eprintf" . This appears to have something to do with dynamic library loading not properly pulling in libgcc. I've tried with -lgcc in the LD options, but that produces a configure error "cannot compute sizeof...". If I remove "--enable-framework" the complete build works, but unfortunately that is the one critical element that I need. The web pages I've found referring to this range from 2001 to present -- still apparently everybody is having problems with this. Does *anybody* here have Python built from source on this OS?

[Python-Dev] Problems building Python on OSX 10.4.6?
[Bleh, sorry about the subject line on my first post. Forgot to edit it before I sent.] Hi all, I have been trying for some time to build Python 2.4.x from source on OS X 10.4.6.

Hi all, Sorry for my inappropriate posting. I just joined the list and didn't realize the complete scope. I will stay on the list, I'm very interested in it from a semantics & implementation perspective as well. Thanks to Brett for the heads-up.
