New submission from Zbyszek Szmek <zbys...@in.waw.pl>: Extended attribute support was added in issue 12720. Doesn't compile on kfreebsd/debian, which uses eglibc and gcc. The error is that the symbols XATTR_LIST_MAX and XATTR_SIZE_MAX are not defined.
After http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/f325439d7f84 xattr compilation tests for 'defined(HAVE_SYS_XATTR_H) && defined(__GLIBC__)', but in this case this test doesn't work. Anyway, XATTR_SIZE_MAX is defined (on Linux) in <linux/limits.h>, and <sys/xattr.h> doesn't know anything about it. (When defined XATTR_{SIZE,LIST}_MAX to 65536 like on linux to go through with the compilation, and os.listxattr('/') returns 'OSError: [Errno 78] Function not implemented'...) ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 150289 nosy: Arfrever, benjamin.peterson, pitrou, skrah, zbysz priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: XATTR_SIZE_MAX and XATTR_LIST_MAX undefined on kfreebsd/debian with eglibc versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13669> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
