Darwinports uses -flat_namespace for 2.3.x,
That's lame. Do you know why they do that?
Legacy from 10.1.x or 10.2.x support, probably. We definitely used
"-undefined suppress" all over the place, on purpose, in the 10.1 days.
Possibly my fault? I know I compiled a lot of things "-undefined
suppress" in those days because it was the first way that I could make
things (kinda) work. A lot of ignorance on my part, and not enough
documentation on Apple's :)
I think this month, or maybe last, marks three years of Mac use for
me... Sometime in the Summer was 3 years of Python :)
I'm not that bothered about 2.3.x issues in DarwinPorts - but anything that
makes 2.4 a better Mac and DarwinPorts citizen I'd be more than happy pushing
to the dp side (all work on 2.3 issues, I just don't see them as comparibly
important). I don't know enough about the internals of how MacPython builds to
make useful suggestions, other than observing that building through a destroot
is very broken for the 'extras' and somewhat broken for the core. Also prefix
isn't totally obeyed. If you do prefix other than /usr/local python2.4,
pythonw2.4, pydoc and symlinks to those end up in /usr/local and not the
requested prefix.
