Re: [Python-Dev] Windows x64 & bsddb 4.4.20 woes
> Martin, you've changed externals/bsddb-4.4.20 with regards to x64 > builds recently -- have you been able to get things working in your > x64 environments? I changed the project files so that it will use the x64 compilers even if no environment variables were set - the original bsddb files expected that you run VS with /useenv, in an SDK x64 build environment. As a consequence, it now builds; I have never bothered testing that it actually works.

Martin/Jesus, any > thoughts on this? As Greg says: 4.5.x should work fine. Importing a new version into the build process is a big effort, though, and should only be done if either a) the beta releases are close, so the new version is the one we'll ship, or b) factual improvements can be demonstrated with a new version.

Not sure whose being attributed here, but I think "breaking down" should be done by "information source": command line, environment, registry, file names, sys.path, module names, etc. I have a patch on SF to resolve the command line issue. I don't think we should use Microsoft's Unicode programming model around TCHAR/TEXT. It would allow for two different builds, and given that we don't need to support W9X anymore, an "ANSI" build is pointless, IMO.

Actually, one of the main complaints about the SF tracker is that it splits into several ones. Something starts out as a bug, but then becomes a patch as soon as somebody attaches a patch. So on SF, people had to open a *separate* issue to provide a patch, and leave a message in the original bug report pointing to the patch. They hated it, and insisted that the new tracker should have a single list of issues.

IIUC, there should be a hotlist object, and either a) an issue has a multilink to multiple hotlists, or b) a hotlist has a multilink to multiple issues. I cannot envision the "add to hotlist" user interface, though. It should be possible to add an issue to a hotlist from the issue's page, right? So would a comma-separated list be reasonable?

The last command executed imediately before the error output
seems to be
find
"$RPM_BUILD_ROOT""%{__prefix}"/%{libdirname}/python%{libvers}/lib-dynload
-type f |
sed "s|^${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}|/|" |
grep -v -e '_tkinter.so$' >mainpkg.files
That is not the last command in the %install script (atleast not
according to the spec file). So it is not at all clear why the
shell should stop executing at that point, and spit out
that error message.
The only theory I can come up with is that the shell *crashed*.
Can you get hold of the rpm-tmp file (e.g. by asking RPM not
to delete it)? Then run it independently, perhaps under
strace.
If it's indeed the case that the shell crashes, something
is seriously wrong with your operating system.

Martin

If you take out those options from the db_static project, it *should* work just the same as what you've got now, right?
