Python 2.4

Hello,

I’ve just tried to compile Python 2.4 on QNX6.2.1, and the configure script
fails complaining about the XOPEN_SOURCE not being supported and the
POSIX_C_SOURCE not being compatible with the XOPEN_SOURCE.

Has anyone successfully compiled this latest Python on QNX?

Cheers,
Robert.

No … but if this error message is related to X11 windows, then remove
this version check in the appropriate include file.

I tried it a couple of days ago on 6.3.0, but haven’t had a chance to
clean it up so it actually builds… I suspect changes are necessary in
the various .in files so configure/make works “out of the box”, and I
didn’t have time to get into tracking down autoconf, etc. for that.

There is a patch at http://timonin.home.mindspring.com/ (in the bottom
of the page) looks like it works.

Yes … now I compiled it on QNX6.3 after using the good old script
QNXconf.sh (-> attached) in order to run the configuration script.

There are to see just complains about ncurses and some warning …
that’s all. No need to do changes on the configure script …

Here is the result … python 2.4 using shared libraries :slight_smile:

Python 2.4 (#1, Jan 21 2005, 16:36:28)
[GCC 2.95.3] on qnx6
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

There is still something to do for recompiling of some extension modules.
