Michael Felt added the comment: FYI: when build and src are the same directory, there is no error message. However, when src and build are in seperate directories (e.g.,
build = '.', src = '../src/python-2.7.11' the following message occurs MANY times: unable to execute '../src/python-2.7.11/Modules/ld_so_aix': No such file or directory during configure the file ./Modules/ld_so_aix is 'created' in the build area. root@x064:[/data/prj/aixtools/python-2.7.11]ls -l Modules/ld*aix* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 6205 Mar 02 16:24 Modules/ld_so_aix Just guessing, but a line such as: BLDSHARED="\$(srcdir)/Modules/ld_so_aix \$(CC) -bI:\$(srcdir)/Modules/python.exp" using $(srcdir) is not correct. Further, a find in $(srcdir) for ld_so_aix returns: root@x064:[/data/prj/aixtools/python-2.7.11]ls -dl ../src/py* drwxr-xr-x 17 199 1954 4096 May 23 2015 ../src/python-2.7.10 drwxr-xr-x 17 199 1954 4096 Dec 05 19:47 ../src/python-2.7.11 So, $(srcdir) seems to be wrong, by definition. For now, I am copying $(srcdir) to $(builddir) to work-around this. ---------- nosy: +Michael.Felt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25825> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
