If you are have a problem building on OpenBSD and see output like this
|
||
|
|
while running configure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
checking curses.h presence... yes
|
||
|
|
configure: WARNING: curses.h: present but cannot be compiled
|
||
|
|
configure: WARNING: curses.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
|
||
|
|
configure: WARNING: curses.h: see the Autoconf documentation
|
||
|
|
configure: WARNING: curses.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
|
||
|
|
configure: WARNING: curses.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
|
||
|
|
configure: WARNING: curses.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
there is likely a problem that will prevent building python.
|
||
|
|
If you see the messages above and are able to completely build python,
|
||
|
|
please tell python-dev@python.org indicating your version of OpenBSD
|
||
|
|
and any other relevant system configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The build error that occurs while making may look something like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/usr/include/sys/event.h:53: error: syntax error before "u_int"
|
||
|
|
/usr/include/sys/event.h:55: error: syntax error before "u_short"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To fix this problem, you will probably need update Python's configure
|
||
|
|
script to disable certain options. Search for a line that looks like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenBSD/2.* | OpenBSD/3.@<:@012345678@:>@)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your version is not in that list, e.g., 3.9, add the version
|
||
|
|
number. In this case, you would just need to add a 9 after the 8.
|
||
|
|
If you modify configure.in, you will need to regenerate configure
|
||
|
|
with autoconf.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your version is already in the list, this is not a known problem.
