Compiling Your Own Version
|
||||
To build,
|
||||
|
||||
To compile your own version of Python 1.5.x for BeOS (with any luck,
|
||||
Python 1.5.2 and later will compile "out of the box" on BeOS), try this:
|
||||
1) ./configure --prefix=/boot/home/config
|
||||
|
||||
1) Get the latest Python source code from ftp.python.org.
|
||||
2) cp Modules/Setup.in Modules/Setup
|
||||
edit Modules/Setup
|
||||
comment out grp and mmap, and pwd on 4.5 or earlier
|
||||
uncomment any modules you want to include in python
|
||||
(you can also add them later as shared libraries.)
|
||||
3) make
|
||||
|
||||
2) Configure with:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --verbose --prefix=/boot/home/config --with-thread
|
||||
|
||||
3) Copy Modules/Setup.in to Modules/Setup.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Edit Modules/Setup to turn on all the modules you want built.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure you use _socket instead of socket for the name of the
|
||||
socketmodule on BeOS (at least, until we get the new BONE networking).
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the modules to be built as shared libraries, instead of as
|
||||
part of the Python shared library, be sure to uncomment the #*shared*
|
||||
line. I haven't done much testing with static linking, it's not as
|
||||
interesting.
|
||||
|
||||
I've tried the following modules:
|
||||
|
||||
array audioop binascii cmath _codecs cPickle crypt cStringIO _curses
|
||||
errno fcntl gdbm grp imageop _locale math md5 new operator parser
|
||||
pcre posix pwd pyexpat readline regex rgbimg rotor select sha signal
|
||||
_socket soundex _sre strop struct syslog termios time timing ucnhash
|
||||
unicodedata zlib
|
||||
|
||||
Note that some of these require extra libraries that aren't supplied
|
||||
with Python. If you don't have the extra libs (you can probably get
|
||||
them from GeekGadgets), don't try to use these modules; they won't
|
||||
compile.

test_popen2 will probably hang; it's deadlocked on a semaphore. I should
|
||||
probably disable popen2 support... it uses fork(), and fork() doesn't mix
|
||||
with threads on BeOS. In *THEORY* you could use it in a single-threaded
|
||||
program, but I haven't tried.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If test_popen2 does hang, you can find the semaphore it's hung on via the
|
||||
"ps" command. Look for python and you'll find something like this:

||||
|
||||
|

./python -tt ../src/Lib/test/regrtest.py (team 26922) (uid 0) (gid 0)

These are all due to either partial support for certain things (like

sockets), or valid differences between systems.
