Thanks. That was the problem.
But the other problem is that defining unix (globally) makes timemodule.c
unable to compile. So (one more kludge!) I defined it in the makefile
here:
>config.o: config.c Makefile libpython.a
> $(COMPILE) $(CONFIGDEFS) $(CONFIGINCLS) -Dunix $*.c
and "import posix" works and:
>make test
> PYTHONPATH=../lib ./python -c 'import autotest'
>All tests OK.
Note: unix is not automatically defined for AIX, so I didn't
undef it for timemodule.c
Is there anyone else out there building/using python on AIX ?
( I know there are someother UVA folks on this list. )
Is anyone else running into problems with make or ./Configure.py
for 0.9.9 ?
Most of the problems I've run into are minor, but I'ld like to
help Guido sort them out before he gets to the 1.0 release.
The other glitch I ran into ( besides posix and the timemodule )
was that, when I did NOT select X11 support in ./Configure.py,
the Makefile did not comment out those lines properly, i.e. :
>#XT_OBJ= Xtmodule.o Xttypes.o GCobject.o Fontobject.o \
> widgetobject.o wclassobject.o
>
>#XT_SRC= Xtmodule.c Xttypes.c GCobject.c Fontobject.c \
> widgetobject.c wclassobject.c
which 'make' didn't much care for, instead of:
>#XT_OBJ= Xtmodule.o Xttypes.o GCobject.o Fontobject.o \
># widgetobject.o wclassobject.o
>
>#XT_SRC= Xtmodule.c Xttypes.c GCobject.c Fontobject.c \
># widgetobject.c wclassobject.c
FY( Guido's mostly )I:
A long time ago, Guido asked me (and the list, I think) what
symbols were automatically defined in AIX. I didn't answer at
the time, because I wasn't sure myself. It turns out that
most of the "automatic" definitions are defined by a configure
file ( /etc/xlc.cfg ), and are different according to which
compiler 'alias' is used ( xlc, cc, c89, bsdcc ). This file
is user configurable ( UVA has added 'bsdcc' to the standard
file - it is in the xlc manual, but not in the standard cfg file.)
"_AIX" appears to be the "standard" predefined symbol.
My 'gcc' also appears to define "_AIX" , but I don't know
if this is standard, or has been modified here at UVA.
( And the RT C compiler predefines "AIX" and "unix" , but
not "_AIX" ! )
I have seen a lot of portable Makefile's set ARCH via `uname` -
( which seems to be more standard than SunOS `arch' ) and then
use that to define it explicitly in CFLAGS. ( Which is how I've
gotten into the habit of often using "#ifdef aix" instead of
the "standard" "#ifdef _AIX" .
( If you want to know why something compiles under 'cc', but not c89 )
Here is my /etc/xlc.cfg which is (I think) the same as the standard
AIX 3.2.2 distribution except for the addition of 'bsdcc'. language
level causes some other defines ( e.g. "-qlanglevl=extended" causes
__EXTENDED__ to be defined. ) and also changes the language accepted
by the compiler.
