Hi folks,
I just wanted to point out that the PyODE 1.1.0 distribution won't
compile on gcc-4 based systems, ie those where 'gcc' is gcc 4 (like
debian unstable, for example).
This comes from the ode_[no]trimesh.c files, generated by pyrex 0.9.3,
that are included. This is a known problem with pyrex 0.9.3, it seems.
There is a new upstream release of pyrex that solves this problem.
Maybe it'd be a good idea to make a minor PyODE release with the
corrected ode_[no]trimesh.c files?
Debian uses a patched version of 0.9.3 that already fixes the gcc 4
problem, so it should be enough to remove those 2 C files and let the
system's pyrex rebuild them. This is what worked for me.
A little note though: on deb, the compiler is called
'python2.x-pyrexc' (where x=3D{3,4}), not 'pyrexc', so I had to make
that trivial change to the setup script.
Furthermore, I'm a bit motivated to make a debian package of PyODE. I
wonder if there have been previous efforts in that direction? Anyhow,
I might need some help, as I'm a bit new to PyODE and this would be
the first time I make a deb package ;)
cheers,
John
