The main error is a particularly odd one when using the emerge system to compile mpir on windows xp it just hangs at seemingly random places while configuring yasm
Sometimes it will fail complaining that python is too low a version. it requires > 2.4 and my version is only 3.3 I am pretty sure the fault is the test in yasm\configure line 7890 and line 7921 declare sys.exit(sys.hexversion < minverhex) I think that needs to be sys.exit(sys.hexversion > minverhex) Not sure how this could ever compile with that bad test in there? Still that is fixable. the strange hangs leave me lost I dont know where to look. the various make logs don't shed any light on the issue at all. It just hung once again at this point config.status: linking /r/build/win32libs/mpir-20120201/work/mpir-2.5.0/mpn/generic/mod_1_2.c to mpn/mod_1_2.c config log shows config.status:1647: linking /r/build/win32libs/mpir-20120201/work/mpir-2.5.0/mpn/generic/mod_1_2.c to mpn/mod_1_2.c This is after linking many files. more often it will hang at configure: creating ./config.status When it hangs I have to kill the shell its running in ^C does not work Any ideas what I can do to track this issue down?
