These are the steps that I took to get dynamic loading working under NeXTSTEP
(3.3 m68k, i486) for Python1.4beta3 (including the Numeric stuff).
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the configure scripts, so I don't
know how to fix these things properly, but this works for me. I would be
interested in how other people have done this as well.
/configure --prefix=/home/horst/Unix --with-readline=/home/horst/Unix/lib
--with-thread --with-next-archs='m68k i486' --without-libm
edit Python/importdl.c
under:
#ifdef USE_RLD
add:
#define SHORT_EXT ".a"
#define LONG_EXT "module.a"
edit Modules/Setup
uncomment *shared*
(other editing as desired)
make (just to create the Makefiles)
edit Makefiles
change all AR= ar to AR = libtool
change all $(AR) cr ... to $(AR) -o ...
in Modules/Makefile change:
libm =
LDSHARED= cc -r -nostdlib $(CFLAGS)
CCSHARED= -r -nostdlib
LINKFORSHARED= -u libsys_s
make "OPT=-O3 -fschedule-insns2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"

Wow, I guess I was overzealous with the optimizations. Upon further
testing, I discovered that the Numeric stuff did not work properly on
Intel machines, but did work properly on m68k. I dropped the
optimization to -O2 (leaving out the -fschedule-insns2), and it seems
to behave properly on both architectures now.
So,
make "OPT=-O2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"
looks like a better choice.
Sorry for the misguidance,
