Re: [tbox-l] Could you pls provide Python 2.3.5 RPM package?

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

I was able to compile Python 2.3.4 (haven't tried 2.3.5) on AIX.  That wa=
s
a few months back; I remember having to experiment with the flags a littl=
e
bit and I don't remember the details but I also arrived at used --with-th=
reads
and --disable-ipv6, but I used the IBM VisualAge C compiler so I did not =
use
the --with-gcc option:

export OPT=3D"-qcpluscmt -O -qmaxmem=3D-1 -DAIX_GENUINE_CPLUSPLUS"
export LIBS=3D"-lC"   # loadAndInit for IBM xlC_r
./configure --without-pymalloc --prefix=3D/opt/freeware --with-cxx=3DxlC_=
r \
   --enable-shared --with-threads --disable-ipv6


The Toolbox python will move up to 2.3.4 (the version that has been pendi=
ng
with our lawyers) into the Toolbox whenever they grant us permission to d=
o so;
as with this and other Toolbox packages, there is not a set time schedule.
