- 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.
-shared does the following things:
- invoke the linker with -G -dy -z text (the latter only if
-mimpure-text was not given)
- drop crt1.o from the list of objects being linked
- drop -lc from the list of libraries being linked
OTOH, -G is just passed through to the linker.
The things that -shared does are necessary: crt1.o defines _start, and
requires main, so it should not be present in a shared library.
Likewise, -z text should be used to detect position-dependent code at
compile time.
Compile shared object files using -fPIC option when using GCC on Solaris (SF
patch #103865). Closes bug #132783. Move config.c generated by makesetup to
the Modules directory.
- Add CFLAGSFORSHARED variable. configure sets this to CCSHARED if LDLIBRARY
is a shared library.
- Remove -fPIC from OPT, it has no business there.
- Change CCSHARED option for Linux to -fPIC. It should probably be
-fPIC on a few other platforms as well.
- Don't create silly boot Makefile, create Setup files and run makesetup
instead.
- change EXE to EXTEXT, there is an autoconf macro for it
- use PROG_INSTALL macro rather than always using install-sh
- add option to disable signal module (simplifies the makefile)
- create subdirs for object files (when building out of src dir)
- don't generate subdir makefiles
- generate "boot" makefile
by weird and (hopefully) unnecessary SET_CXX and SET_DLLLIBRARY macros
that occurr at the start of Makefile.in files.
- Also removed the already-commented-out SET_CCC macro cruft.
