supplied values are the most "normal" or "common" values found for
recent 32 bit machines. This now seems to work to build Python 2.2
for the ARM processor used on the iPAQ.

This adds a configure check and if all goes well turns on the
PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM thread attribute for new threads.
This should remove the need to add tiny sleeps at the start of threads
to allow other threads to be scheduled.
support on Linux (and Solaris, I expect) for real.
The necessary symbols are defined once and for all,
under the assumption that they won't harm elsewhere.
out of the box on OSX 10.1. Untested by me (except for not having adverse
effects on 10.0.4) but it looks good, for now. Eventually we should not
trigger on the darwin version but test for something, but until I have
the time to install 10.1 myself I have no clue what to test on.
It would be nice if this got in to the 2.2a3 distribution.
I don't know what difference it makes, but '/' indeed makes less sense
as an include dir than '.', so I'm changing the default. Just so I
can close the bug. ;-)
I believe this works on Linux (tested both on a system with large file
support and one without it), and it may work on Solaris 2.7.
The changes are twofold:
(1) The configure script now boldly tries to set the two symbols that
are recommended (for Solaris and Linux), and then tries a test
script that does some simple seeking without writing.
(2) The _portable_{fseek,ftell} functions are a little more systematic
in how they try the different large file support options: first
try fseeko/ftello, but only if off_t is large; then try
fseek64/ftell64; then try hacking with fgetpos/fsetpos.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The meaning of the
HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT macro is not at all clear.
I'll see if I can get it to work on Windows as well.
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
- 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.
