New submission from Erik Sandberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: When building Python on Solaris, I don't get the os.mknod function. This seems to be a combination of two errors: 1. The definition of posix_mknod() in posixmodule.c is surrounded by: #if defined(HAVE_MKNOD) && defined(HAVE_MAKEDEV) It works fine if I remove the HAVE_MAKEDEV define.
2. The reason why HAVE_MAKEDEV doesn't work, is that the Python configure script only looks for makedev in <sys/types.h>, while on Solaris you need to include <sys/mkdev.h> as well. cc -V gives: cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124867-01 2007/07/12 uname -a gives: SunOS zelda 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4us sparc FJSV,GPUZC-M ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 73562 nosy: sandberg severity: normal status: open title: os.mknod missing on Solaris type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3928> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
