Re: Unable to build libpython2.5.so on OS X 10.4
Christian, Thanks for the response. I knew about the .dylib suffix, but that's not being built either, even when I supply the --enable-shared option to configure. I also tried the --enable-unicode configure option, but no joy. Might there be some additional OS X package I need to install to get this to work?

I've not done any Mac development, so there may be some obvious point I am missing. The Python README file and configure script comments are not getting me very far. You have to start with a clean plate and use the --enable-shared option to configure: make distclean ./configure --enable-unicode=ucs4 --enable-shared make That will give you a libpython2.5.dylib. The suffix for shared libraries is .dylib on On Mac OS X, not .so! Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Unable to build libpython2.5.so on OS X 10.4
Hi Ned. The Python module I am building is actually the Python module for ROOT, a large package from CERN. However, the problem arises before that code enters the picture, when I am building Python itself. All I want to do is create libpython2.5.dylib, or its equivalent, and I can't seem to make that happen on Tiger.

I've googled the problem and searched the comp.lang.python archives, but I have been unable to find anything that works. Perhaps I misunderstand, but if you are trying to build a C extension for an existing Python 2.5 installation, using Distutils from that installation should take care of everything for you. Is there a setup.py file by any chance? Are you using a standard python installation (i.e. python.org installer for instance)? More details might help. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
