Issue 12592: modify configure.in to detect OpenBSD 5.x (original) (raw)

Hi, I tested to build Python 2.7 and Python 3.2.1 (it would be the same with others versions of Python) and it failed to build on OpenBSD 5.0 (beta version).

This is the diff to correctly work on OpenBSD 5.x:

--- configure.in.orig Sat Jul 9 08:58:56 2011 +++ configure.in Wed Jul 20 10:19:37 2011 @@ -320,7 +320,7 @@ # As this has a different meaning on Linux, only define it on OpenBSD AC_DEFINE(_BSD_SOURCE, 1, [Define on OpenBSD to activate all library features]) ;;

• OpenBSD/4.@<:@789@:>@)

• OpenBSD/4.@<:@789@:>@ | OpenBSD/5.*)

  OpenBSD undoes our definition of __BSD_VISIBLE if _XOPEN_SOURCE is

  also defined. This can be overridden by defining _BSD_SOURCE

  As this has a different meaning on Linux, only define it on OpenBSD

Could you add this modification in the different versions of Python ?

Thanks a lot,

Remi.
