Re: [Fink-users] [EXTERNAL] python27build error

[Zhu, J. <jx...@la...>]

Dear Luigi,

In your description for iMac, you meant python27_2.7.18-1 or 2, right?

We are also aware that Xcode and CLT 11.3.1 is supposed to be for MacOSX 10.5 (Catalina) not for 10.4 (Mojave).  This is what was installed on my MacBook.
But I hope this is not the root cause of failure to build python27_2.7.18-2.

Thanks,

Jianxin

I assume that the list of the log file provided by Jianxin to Derek will be the same (if required, I'll go for it).

There is also another point that I don't understand; the issue under examination is going on on my iMac, that I couldn't use for a couple of months (lock-down effect); on the contrary, on my MacbookAir, which has a Fink installation that should be 'almost' the same as on iMac, the update to python27_2.7.18-1 went smoothly on May 6, with quite different .info and .patch files; so what changed going to python27_2.7.18-2? As for now, I didn't get any notification for an update to python27_2.7.18-2 on my MacbookAir.

You have not got a notification on the update as it is not merged yet, so the only way to test it ahead of

merging is to manually get the files as described earlier by Hanspeter:



Can you go to <https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/540/><https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/540/>

and download these two files:



https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fink/fink-distributions/159d62662c0d6351ca75ed47124a541889f2dfdb/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/languages/python27.info



https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fink/fink-distributions/159d62662c0d6351ca75ed47124a541889f2dfdb/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/languages/python27.patch



and save them to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/languages (make the directory if not present)https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/raw/159d62662c0d6351ca75ed47124a541889f2dfdb/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/languages/python27.info

But in any case this does not seem to resolve the second build error.



Did I understand that on that iMac building the same original python27_2.7.18-1 succeeded on 10.14 without

any errors with either readline or _scproxy? That makes things even more confusing, but it would reflect

Hanspeter’s results described in

https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/issues/624#issuecomment-629419708



Not sure how to proceed with such inconsistent behaviour, and searching the web for information related

to the _scproxy error brings up somewhat contradictory results as well. It looks like this may require a

fix to the compiler itself.



Cheers,

Derek,
just to make the history clearer:

- both computers are with OS 10.14.5, Xcode and CLT 11.3.1
- python27_2.7.18-1 built on MacbookAir on May 6, starting from a previous version that I don't know, without any error, but no attempt has been made so far to go up to python27_2.7.18-2.


- iMac was all the time, during lock-down with python27_2.7.17-1, and only after May 25, out of lock-down, I could work on it and I was asked to update to python27_2.7.17-2, with failure reported in my first mail. After Hanspeter's suggestions the build failed again, but in this case 'readline' disappeared from the 'Failed to build these modules: ' list.

Cheers to you too,                                                                                                              Luigi
