Hmm. Ronald's instructions say that the build machine must be x86 for the build to work. I don't know what other consequences using PPC would have; I recommend that we follow these instructions until we understand them enough to change them. > I'm no expert on this, but maybe > we should just get rid of the configure check and use the > __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ and __BIG_ENDIAN__ macros. That won't work, as not all compilers define these macros. The 2.5 approach works fine (use the macros on OSX, and use the configure test elsewhere). Unfortunately, that support got removed in r63955. The patch in issue4060 looks fine; I'm unsure why it hasn't been applied yet. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4728> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
