Re: compile python-ldap on macosx

[Joe L. <jl...@op...>]

My understanding is that they include the OpenLDAP server 2.1.x on=20
their server product. That being said I assume the client side build=20
and libraries is based on the same version.

Let me take a stab at it..

Ok. the framework lists it as an OpenLDAP 2.0.21 based library.=20
However, the LDAP binary is built with liblber and libldap version 2.1.x

Let's look at the /usr/lib directory for the libraries themselves.=20
Strings results in the same 2.1.x (no indication of the specific=20
version. MacOSX uses .dylib extensions without major/minor numbers)

Pulling python-ldap from CVS and building it...

I get the same error with the "python setup.py build" approach, but it=20=

appears to correctly generate the files. I get further errors when=20
simply using "make" -- a lot about the inability to generate i386=20
libraries. However, it completes and a subsequent make shows that=20
everything is up to date and nothing is left to build. Thus, the nature=20=

of the beast is that the included setup.cfg doesn't know that MacOSX=20
can build for multiple architectures and its platform (python setup.py=20=

--platform) is "UNKNOWN". Is this normally the case for packages using=20=

setup.py/distutils?

I hope this helps out the discussion a bit.
