This will be helpful to people who want to compile Python with a
cross-compiler. Now you can upload the configure script on your host
machine, run it with caching enabled, and download the cached results
on your build machine.
issue #2937. This information can be helpful for diagnosing platform-
specific problems in math and cmath. The result of the test also
serves as a fairly reliable indicator of whether the x87 floating-point
instructions (as opposed to SSE2) are in use on Intel x86/x86_64 systems.
that may be required when linking against readline. This fixes issues
with x86_64 builds on some platforms (at least a few Linux flavors as
well as OpenBSD/amd64).
to get the correct completion_matches function to avoid crashes on
x86_64 (amd64).
I don't have OpenBSD to test myself. I tested that it does not break
anything on linux. It is simple.
This patch adds a new configure argument on OSX:
--with-universal-archs=[32-bit|64-bit|all]
When used with the --enable-universalsdk option this controls which
CPU architectures are includes in the framework. The default is 32-bit,
meaning i386 and ppc. The most useful alternative is 'all', which includes
all 4 CPU architectures supported by MacOS X (i386, ppc, x86_64 and ppc64).
This includes limited support for the Carbon bindings in 64-bit mode as well,
limited because (a) I haven't done extensive testing and (b) a large portion
of the Carbon API's aren't available in 64-bit mode anyway.
I've also duplicated a feature of Apple's build of python: setting the
environment variable 'ARCHFLAGS' controls the '-arch' flags used for building
extensions using distutils.
information about the processor on the Debian/alpha
buildbot. (I'm still trying to track down the cause
of the test_math failures for this machine.) This
checkin will be reverted within the next 48 hours.
This introduces a new configure option: --with-framework-name=NAME
(defaulting to 'Python'). This allows you to install several copies
of the Python framework with different names (such as a normal build
and a debug build).
the compiler. This should(?) help to fix failures in test_math
and test_cmath on Linux/alpha.
Also add configure message reporting the result of uname -m, as
a debugging aid.
