Joshua Kinard <ku...@gentoo.org> added the comment: Anyone gotten farther on getting Python-2.5.x to cross-compile? I'm trying to get x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --> mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu, and after some hacking at the last updated cross-2.5.1.patch, plus a fix for the %zd printf bugaboo, plus adding in config.sub/config.guess files, I'm able to get it moving a little. But I'm running into the same failure as described in Message #56846 and I'm not quite sure how to properly work around that.
Can't "hack" around it -- the entire build is automated from a Gentoo ebuild, so I need to be able to tweak something in Makefile.pre.in or configure.in to fix this...somehow. Ran some quick checks, and even with passing -I/usr/include to CPPFLAGS_FOR_BUILD, and running the host compiler directly on the command line, It's picking up wrong values for LONG_BIT and SIZEOF_LONG (I think). LONG_BIT = 64 SIZEOF_LONG = 4 So the test LONG_BIT != (SIZEOF_LONG * 8) succeeds and hits the #error in pyport.h Can't use a newer Python, including 2.6, 2.7-trunk, or even 3.0. Gentoo's primary package manager, portage, is currently dependent on 2.5.x (we're using 2.5.4 specifically right now). So Roumen's patch doesn't work at all (I've already tried backporting). Ideas perhaps? ---------- nosy: +kumba _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1597850> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
