[Pythonmac-SIG] Building Pthreads Statically (slightly off topic)
I am building python on an embedded linux box. I tried to sign up for the comp.lang.python mailinglist but its been several hours and they haven't confirmed my membership so I can't ask it there. I hope that someone on this list can help me. I can build python 2.4.2 from source on the embedded linux box when I nfs mount and boot a full debian distribution. The embedded box has stripped down linux distribution in onboard flash. I can successfully install python to the onboard flash when booted to the nfs version by using make install with $DESTDIR set to the onboard flash mounted directory I then reboot to the onboard flash and can run python from there. This works if I build python without threading support because the onboard flash does not include the libpthread.so library I think that if I can build python with pthread linked statically then I can run python when booted from the onboard flash without problem. Problem is I am clueless about how to do this. The setup and setup.py files only deal with building modules static or shared where as threading is build into the python interpreter it seems not as a module. I read the readme in the source distribution but can't find and configure options that will let me build python with static linking of the pthread library. I have searched google and find vague references to doing something like that. I don't understand the makefile well enough to know how to do it there. So does anyone understand how include threading support statically? What I have to modify to do it? ** Samuel M.
