New submission from Akira Kitada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I get a number of "cannot find -lpython2.5" error when building Python 2.5.2 on FreeBSD 2.5.2 with gcc 2.95.4. This problem is only occured when I build it with "--enable-shared" configure option.
This is how you can reproduce this problem. cd Python-2.5.2 configure --enable-shared make and you will get gcc -shared build/temp.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/usr/home/build/dev/Python-2.5.2/Modules/_struct.o -L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.5 -o build/lib.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/_ struct.so /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpython2.5 ... /home/build/dev/Python-2.5.2/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/sysv.o -L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.5 -o build/lib.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/_ctypes.so /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpython2.5 ... gcc -shared build/temp.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/usr/home/build/dev/Python-2.5.2/Modules/_ctypes/_ctypes_test.o -L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.5 -o build/lib.freebsd-4.11-RELEA SE-i386-2.5/_ctypes_test.so /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpython2.5 ... gcc -shared build/temp.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/usr/home/build/dev/Python-2.5.2/Modules/_weakref.o -L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.5 -o build/lib.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/ _weakref.so /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpython2.5 ... gcc -shared build/temp.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2.5/usr/home/build/dev/Python-2.5.2/Modules/arraymodule.o -L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.5 -o build/lib.freebsd-4.11-RELEASE-i386-2 .5/array.so /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpython2.5 ...... You can workaround this by running ./configure LDFLAGS="-L." --enable-shared. ---------- components: Build messages: 76117 nosy: akitada severity: normal status: open title: cannot find -lpython2.5 when buinding Python 2.5.2 on FreeBSD 4.11 type: compile error versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4366> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
