@ -137,4 +137,20 @@ NOTE: If the extension module is written in C++ and contains templates,
known whether makeC++SharedLib can be used as a complete substitute
for ld_so_aix.
According to Gary Hook from IBM, the format of the export file changed
in AIX 4.2. For AIX 4.2 and later, a period "." is required on the
first line after "#!". If python crashes while importing a shared
library, you can try modifying the LINKCC variable in the Makefile.
It probably looks like this:
LINKCC= $(srcdir)/Modules/makexp_aix Modules/python.exp \"\" $(LIBRARY); $(PURIFY) $(CXX)
You should modify the \"\" to be a period:
LINKCC= $(srcdir)/Modules/makexp_aix Modules/python.exp . $(LIBRARY); $(PURIFY) $(CXX)
Using a period fixed the problem in the snake farm. YMMV.
After testing with different versions of AIX, a fix should
be checked in. Hopefully, this fix be incorporated into Python 2.3.
