New submission from Cong Ma <m.c...@protonmail.ch>:
The problem ----------- In the repository, the definition for ``AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG`` in Python's ``configure.ac`` file is missing. If ``autoreconf`` is run, an invalid ``configure`` script is generated. The following is the behaviour of running ``autoreconf`` followed by ``configure``: ``` # In cpython repository top-level directory $ autoreconf $ mkdir build $ cd build $ ../configure # <- using newly generated configure script [... omitted ...] checking for --enable-optimizations... no ../configure: line 6498: syntax error near unexpected token `-fno-semantic-interposition,' ../configure: line 6498: ` AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(-fno-semantic-interposition,' ``` The solution ------------ It appears a file was missing in the m4/ directory. The file matches this one from the Autoconf Archive: https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_compile_flag.html Simply adding the correct m4 file to m4/ should make ``autoreconf`` work. ---------- components: Build messages: 389463 nosy: congma priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Missing definition in configure.ac causing autoreconf to create damaged configure script _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43617> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
