Troubleshooting an open source package build problem is often a complex problem that in most cases requires direct access to the environment where the problem is happening. It's actually a case of porting. When Python does not build in some OS distro with certain compilers, that's a kind of porting challenge. The program in question almost certainly doesn't have a C language problem. It has a build system portability problem. Even though some build system portability problems intersect with C topics, This isn't a build system portability problem newsgroup. "Port this big package for me to my environment because I don't know what I'm doing" is not a suitable discussion topic here for reasons like people not having that exact environment ot be able to reproduce the problem, and people not coming here to discuss that sort of thing. It's a lot better to take it to either a mailing list for the platform where you are trying to port the program, or else the mailing list for that program. The build issue could be something that recurs for other programs being ported to the same environment. -- TXR Programming Language: http://nongnu.org/txr Cygnal: Cygwin Native Application Library: http://kylheku.com/cygnal Mastodon: @[email protected]
