Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: David Everly (deckrider) >Assigned to: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Summary: hpux ia64 shared lib ext should be ".so" Initial Comment: On hpux ia64, the shared library extension should be ".so". This is currently problematic in that other add-on python modules (such as those for subversion) correctly detect the host_os/host_cpu and build _module.so, which is not seen by python built using ".sl". According to http://devresource.hp.com/drc/resources/portguideipf/index.jsp#dynlinkfac "Shared library names Since dynamic linking APIs operate on shared libraries, it is also important to note that the shared library naming scheme on Linux is lib*.so; whereas, on HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 the naming scheme is lib*.sl for PA and lib*.so on IPF. Also APIs may reside in different libraries files on Linux and HP-UX, so you may need to dynamically load a different shared library name on HP-UX and Linux." To translate this quote, PA=hppa and IPF=ia64. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Everly (deckrider) Date: 2006-05-08 22:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1113403 I tested against hpux ia64 today, and found that the original patch required correction. Here is the result. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Everly (deckrider) Date: 2006-05-07 07:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1113403 Here is a patch against http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release24-maint I don't have many evironments to test against, and only Linux right now (will test on HPUX ia64 tomorrow and report back). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Everly (deckrider) Date: 2006-05-05 06:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1113403 The patch I'm using now only works on hppa/ia64 and isn't anything that can coexist nicely in the source package on other hardware/os combinations. I've looked at http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release24-maint/ I'm accustomed to a system using autoconf/libtool/automake (recent versions) and never committing the output of those tools, but only running them at source package generation time. I say this, only to point out that I'm not understanding the principles behind what I see in subversion. I see configure, and also configure.in. Which should be patched? And if I don't patch configure, what is the process for regenerating it (and with what versions of automake, autoconf, and libtool?). Also, the most recent libtool already correctly determines shared library extension. So I could probably provide a patch, but would need to understand the environment better in order to do so. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-05-05 01:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Do you think you could work on a patch to address this issue? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1481770&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
