New submission from Michael Felt: I have been trying to build (pip install) mercurial - for ages. I kept running into this message:
"/opt/include/python2.7/pyport.h", line 887.2: 1506-205 (S) #error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)." And - finally, I figured out what I -- WAS -- doing wrong. I package python as 64-bit, but when I just install python and then try pip install mercurial the message shows up. The problem goes away when I first export OBJECT_MODE export OBJECT_MODE=64 The little enhancement would be to change the hint from ... (bad gcc/glibc config?) to something that hints at machine size, e.g., (bad default bit-size for compiler?) ---------- messages: 277695 nosy: Michael.Felt priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Minor change - more direct hint re: multiple machine sizes and LONG_BIT conflicts type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28312> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
