Python 2.6 fails on compiling > Bug report

[googler.1.webmaster]

Hi!

I compiled Python 2.6.1 on a Mac OSX 10.5.5 Intel machine with this
configure command and got this message


FAILS: ./configure --with-framework-name=Python --with-
universal-archs=all --enable-framework --enable-
universalsdk=@executable_path/my/path/to/app


WORKS: ./configure --with-framework-name=Python --with-
universal-archs=all --enable-framework --enable-universalsdk=/


[...]

/* its already noted in the bug reporter but there is no solution.
Does anyone know how to use my custom path?


Thanks.

Hi searched for "Library/Frameworks/" in the config file and edited it
to "@executable_path".

Well my configure and make command worked very fine. Just 'make
install' aborted after this error message.

2.6"
test -d "/Applications/Python 2.6/IDLE.app" && rm -r "/Applications/

cp -PR IDLE.app "/Applications/Python 2.6"

That is not cool.. really.. thats not cool. Thanks for your tipps.

hm... any ideas?

Posting the config.log file would be a first step to give more information,

Hi!

I didn't wanted to post 11.000 Lines here, so I uploaded it here:

Have you tried specifying one of the universal SDKs, i.e.
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.n.sdk? That's what the "official" python.org
builds do. The build script for the batteries-included installer is in
the source tar ball at Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py.

FWIW, I made a universal (4-way) batteries-included framework build for
2.6 on 10.5 with the following patch to that script:

hi, thanks for your help.

May the diff file is wrong? on my system it doesn't work.
Well, set the -enable-universalsdk= path occurs that error.

Hmm. that is really a disaster, isn't it hm.

May the diff file is wrong? on my system it doesn't work.
Well, set the -enable-universalsdk= path occurs that error.

Sorry, there were a few line wrap-arounds in the diff file due to long
lines but the changes for the four significant lines should be easy to
do manually.

Note that the build I made this way has not been tested on ppc64 and has
had minimal testing so far on x64_64.

Hadn't done that before but I found a ressource how to read that
syntax.
x86_64 would be enough. i test that again. Thank you.
