I don't know what difference it makes, but '/' indeed makes less sense
as an include dir than '.', so I'm changing the default. Just so I
can close the bug. ;-)
I believe this works on Linux (tested both on a system with large file
support and one without it), and it may work on Solaris 2.7.
The changes are twofold:
(1) The configure script now boldly tries to set the two symbols that
are recommended (for Solaris and Linux), and then tries a test
script that does some simple seeking without writing.
(2) The _portable_{fseek,ftell} functions are a little more systematic
in how they try the different large file support options: first
try fseeko/ftello, but only if off_t is large; then try
fseek64/ftell64; then try hacking with fgetpos/fsetpos.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The meaning of the
HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT macro is not at all clear.
I'll see if I can get it to work on Windows as well.
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
- Made framework builds work for MacOSX. The configure arg is now
"--enable-framework".
- Added an install target frameworkinstall which installs the framework.
- Ripped out Next/OpenStep support, which was broken anyway.
- Made the MacOSX toolbox glue dependant on a --enable-toolbox-glue
configure arg. This should make naked darwin build work again (untested).
A few targets have been added to Makefile.pre.in, and on inspection they
look harmless to non-MacOSX machines, but it is worth checking.
Closes bug #420601 and patch #450350.
- Give a warning if you're on a case-insensitive filesystem and have
not specified --with-suffix.
- Don't require --with-dyld, it is now default for OSX/Darwin (suggested
by Martin v. Loewis)
- Don't define _POSIX_THREADS on Darwin, it's done by standard headers already
(fix by Tony Lownds)
- Don't use the Mac subtree anymore, the routines relevant to OSX/Darwin
have moved to a new file Python/mactoolboxglue.c.
the --with-suffix=.exe, but it seems that that is also true for cygwin
(or not? should I automatically set it?)
- Got --with-next-framework to build on OSX. This is only the build bit,
the install still has to be done manually. Moreover, the Python build order
isn't really suited to frameworks (where you want to do 'build lib',
'install lib and framework', 'link executable against installed framework'
in that order).
Also note that it isn't just Linux nice() that is broken: at least FreeBSD
and BSDI also have this problem. os.nice() should probably just be emulated
using getpriority()/setpriority(), if they are available, but I'll get to
that later.
This patch allows the readline module to build cleanly with GNU
readline 4.2 without breaking the build for earlier GNU readline
versions. The configure script checks for the presence of
rl_completion_matches in libreadline.
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,
SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
Mac/macglue.c into the core interpreter. This file contains the glue code that
allows extension modules for Mac toolboxes to live in different shared libraries
but still communicate with each other. The glue code is controlled by the
USE_MAC_TOOLBOX_GLUE define.
into Makefile.pre.in; the configure script will only determine the basename
of the file.
This fixes installation of a Python built using C++, reported by Greg
Wilson.
