Building on the main host and a VM without having to commit and synchronize temporary changes.

As Martin says it is probably just the timestamps which caused typeslots.inc to be rebuilt. In 3.3 _sysconfigdata.py is rebuilt whenever the python binary is. I suspect a bigger issue is the fact that *.pyc files cannot be written to $(srcdir)/Lib/__pycache__. This means that to complete the build, $(PYTHON_FOR_BUILD) should probably include the -B flag to prevent it from trying to write *.pyc files to a read-only location. But that still leaves you with a python which only works with the -B flag. Maybe library files could be linked/copied to some writable directory early in sys.path. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15819> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
