[Pyobjc-dev] PyObjC trunk fails to build under python-2.6.1 (4-way universal)

[James R E. <Jam...@lr...>]

I suspect I'm on the bleeding edge here, so please bear with me.

I'm attempting to build PyObjC (from SVN trunk) using a 4-way  
universal build of Python 2.6.1.  It appears that PyObjC does not like  
to be built from a newer Python than 2.5, since the 02-develop-all.sh  
script specifically invokes python-2.5.  When building using  
python-2.6, some #ifdef'd code causes the build to fail.

Applying the patch below causes the build to succeed, but still yields  
an unusable PyObjC.  When run under 32 bit (via python-32), an "import  
Foundation" yields "ImportError: No module named _nsindexset".  Is  
pyobjc-frameworks-Cocoa/Modules/_Foundation_nsindexset.m missing from  
the repo?

Furthermore, and possibly a result of the previous error, when running  
via python-64, "import Foundation" causes a segmentation fault.

Is the file I mentioned missing from the repository?  Should I be  
using a different version of Python (e.g. 2.5.4) instead?

Cheers!
James
