New submission from Jakub Piotr Cłapa <j...@loee.pl>: macOS needs to link to CoreFoundation for gettext to work. We reorder the autoconf tests so CoreFoundation is added to LIBS earlier and the -lintl test does not fail (which would exclude it from the final set of flags).
Btw. the whole test seems fishy: if compilation fails it does not mean -lintl is not needed, for this we would need to test a gettext function without -lintl. Basically two tests (with and without -lintl) are needed to properly diagnose the situation. The test in question had been written in 2009 as a fix for the https://bugs.python.org/issue6154 bug report. This may be an issue only with non-Framework builds (since Homebrew manages to build a framework-based Python on macOS without any special shenigans) but I had not tested it. ---------- components: Build messages: 356237 nosy: Jakub Piotr Cłapa priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: configure: on macOS (darwin) add CoreFoundation to flags before checking for gettext type: compile error versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38743> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
