Message: [QUOTE="Harry George, post: 3051128"] I'm building 2.5.1 from source, using the ubuntu(7.0.4)-provided gcc 4.1.2. Based on google searches and nints found, here is the process: ------------------------------------------------------------ #---edit configure; test of wchar_t--- #include <ncursesw.h> #include <wchar.h> #------------------------------------- cd Lib/test rm test_multibyte* cd ../.. #---edit Include/unicodeobject.h--- /* FIXME: MvL's new implementation assumes that Py_UNICODE_SIZE is properly set, but the default rules below doesn't set it. I'll sort this out some other day -- [email]fredrik@pythonware.com[/email] */ #define Py_UNICODE_SIZE 4 #ifndef Py_UNICODE_SIZE #---------------------------- LDFLAGS='-L/usr/lib -lncursesw -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto ' \ ../configure --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-gcc=/usr/bin/gcc \ --enable-shared \ --enable-unicode=usc4 \ #---edit Modules/Setup--- (all the std ones....) SSL=/usr/local/ssl _ssl _ssl.c \ -DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \ -L$(SSL)/lib -lssl -lcrypto #---end edits--- gmake altinstall ------------------------------------------------------------ I'm getting a failure during final libpython binding, on undefined PyUnicodeUCS4_AsWideChar. All the other PyUnicodeUCS4... functions are being found. It specifically says it is checking on the libpython in /usr/local/lib (not somewhere in the source code build dirtree), so that is a possible oddity. Checking with nm on the lib shows "AsWideChar" is in fact undefined. 1. If I onfigure with unicode=ucs2, does all this go away and I get a working system (efficient or not) on my 64-bit machine? 2. Can you point to a configure (and maybe patch) process which leads to a clean "make altinstall". [/QUOTE]
