Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Dear Python Community, I am trying to build Python with Tcl/Tk under the Cygwin_NT-5.1 OS. Has anyone done this? Do I need to build tcl8.4.9 and tk8.4.9 under the unix directory or the win directory. I found that the Tcl/Tk unix directories compiled just fine and built the libtcl8.4.a and libtk8.4.a libraries for use. But I don't think that Python is looking for this. If you've built Python with Tcl/Tck, is it possible for you to send me instructions on how you did it? Thanks in advance... Best regards, Dean -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Dear Jason, Thanks for fixing this problem. I'm sure all the CDAT/Cygwin users really appreciate it. I'll put the update on the CDAT web portal.

Hi Jason, I downloaded your new Cygwin from http://cygwin.com and tried to build install Python/CDAT again. It appears to have built properly, but when I try to execute, it receive a sock error. How do I get around this problem? When I built Cygwin, I instructed it to install everything. Thanks in advance for your help and best regards, Dean -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Hi Jason, To be more specific. If I try to import socket I get the "ImportError: No module named _socket". What do I need to install from Cygwin in order for this to work?

Last week, I obtained another laptop, which I installed Cygwin (from the Internet) on last Thursday. (Call this Cygwin B.) Cygwin Versions: Cygwin A = the February 2005, version Cygwin B = Thursday's, July 21, 2005 version Last Friday, I built Python2.4 on Cygwin A with no errors. (The socketmodule worked and I can import socket.) I also built Python2.4 on newer version of Cygwin (i.e., Cygwin B), but the socketmodule doesn't work. I get an error message when importing socket. The Python2.4 is the same for both. The only difference is in the Cygwin version. That is, the version I installed from the internet in February and the version I installed last Thursday. When installing from the internet, there is no way to specify which version (or date) of Cygwin to download. I was wondering if you kept version controls, so I could go back to the February version of Cygwin since I know the Python Socket Module works. > > > >>In my Python2.4 log file, I tracked it down to the file >>Python2.4/Modules/socketmodule.c file: 3350 INET_ADDSTRLEN, which >>says "INET_ADDSTRLEN" is undeclared.

Right! Forgot to exit out of ALL Cygwin processes. This does work. -Dean Jason Tishler wrote: >Dean, > >On Mon, Jul 25, 2005 at 11:27:16AM -0700, Dean N.

Re: Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Hi Jason, To get "import socket" to work in Python2.4, I had to do something that I never recomend and that is hack the Python code. Since I need this to work for someone that is going on travel, I just modified the socketmodule.c file. REPLACE: /* Irix 6.5 fails to define this variable at all. This is needed for both GCC and SGI's compiler. I'd say that the SGI headers are just busted. */ #if defined(__sgi) && !defined(INET_ADDRSTRLEN) #define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16 #endif WITH: #define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16 This is a temporary fix until the Cygwin build works.

Re: Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Jason, Thanks for fixing this bug in Cygwin. Remember there was another undefined variable for the Python build _bsd...

No, I did an install all at the top of the installation. Didn't know I
needed to specify libraries. If I select "install" for everything (that
is, all packages show "install") shouldn't this include the above?

Re: Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Dear Jason, I installed Cygwin on another Windows XP platform, this time I selected "ALL" for the setup installation. Everything appears to have been install just fine, except for when I do the "rebaseall" command. I am receiving the following error messages when I do the "rebaseall" command at the prompt: $ rebaseall /usr/bin/rebaseall: line 70: [: too many arguments /usr/bin/rebaseall: line 75: [: too many arguments /usr/bin/rebaseall: line 94: $TmpFile: ambiguous redirect cannot read /cygdrive/c/Documents On my laptop installation everything works just fine. What is the difference? Thanks in advance and best regards, Dean Dean, Please keep your replies on-list. On Wed, Feb 02, 2005 at 05:14:21AM -0800, Dean N. Williams wrote: I am trying to do the following according to your notes: 3. Due to issues with Cygwin's fork() and DLL base address conflicts, one should rebase their Cygwin system to prevent fork() failures. Use the following procedure to rebase your system: a. install the Cygwin rebase package (if necessary) b. shutdown all Cygwin processes c. start bash (do not use rxvt) d. execute rebaseall (in the bash window) I think this is why idle fails. So I did the above: [Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...ASD_work/bin]$ rebaseall ReBaseImage (/usr/bin/cygexpat-0.dll) failed with last error = 6 What am I doing wrong here? It appears you did not follow step b above. Did you shutdown *all* Cygwin processes include services? Jason -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Dear Jason, The "$ TMP=/tmp rebaseall" command worked! Thank you. When a new Cygwin is available w/ your changes please let me know...

What is the difference? The TMP and/or TEMP environment variables have at least two spaces in them. The easiest workaround is to execute rebaseall like the following: $ TMP=/tmp rebaseall Long term I will change rebaseall to deal better with spaces in shell variables.

Re: Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Hi Jason, I have a other Cygwin port question. It turns out that the auto-import for XtStrings an widgetClass didn't get resolved. This a similar auto-import resolving error that I got when trying to build Tcl/Tk. I ended up using the shared Tcl/Tk that came with Cygwin. But in this case I must be able to build my software. Can you tell me how to get around this problem? Or can you tell me which cygwin mail list to send my plea for help?
