@ -300,8 +300,8 @@ SunOS 4.x: When using the SunPro C compiler, you may want to use the
'-Xa' option instead of '-Xc', to enable some needed non-ANSI
Sunisms.
NeXT: To build fat binaries, use the --with-next-archs switch
described below.
NeXT: Not supported anymore. Start with the MacOSX/Darwin code if you
want to revive it.
QNX: Chris Herborth (chrish@qnx.com) writes:

platform as well. This should be resolved in time for a
future release.
Mac OS X 10.0: Run configure with "OPT='-no-cpp-precomp' ./configure
--with-suffix=.exe --with-dyld". This generates executable
file: 'python.exe' (it cannot be named 'python' on an HFS or
HFS+ disk as the file name clashes with directory 'Python').
The '-no-cpp-precomp' option prevents a large number of
compilation warnings. One of the regular expression tests
fails with a SEGV due to the small stack size used by default
(how to change this?), and the test_largefile test is only
expected to work on a Unix UFS filesystem (how to check for
this on Mac OS X?).

On naked Darwin you may have to add the configure option
"--without-toolbox-glue" to disable the glue code for the Carbon
interface modules. (The modules themselves are currently not built
by default as they are experimental, on real OSX you can enable them
in setup.py).
You may want to try the configure option "--enable-framework" which
installs Python as a framework. The location can be set as argument
to the --enable-framework option (default /Library/Frameworks).
Cygwin: Cygwin Python builds OOTB when configured as follows:

versions of Emacs may already have it.) Follow the instructions that
came with Emacs for installation of site-specific files.
On Mac OS X, if you have configured Python with --enable-framework, you
should use "make frameworkinstall" to do the installation. Note that this
installs the Python executable in a place that is not normally on your
PATH, you may want to set up a symlink in /usr/local/bin.

--with-libc=-lc_s. These libraries are passed after all other
libraries, the C library last.
--with-next-archs='arch1 arch2': Under NEXTSTEP, this will build
all compiled binaries with the architectures listed. This will
also correctly set the target architecture-specific resource
directory. (This option is not supported on other platforms.)
--with-libs='libs': Add 'libs' to the LIBS that the python interpreter
is linked against.
