Issue 1230161: Build failure - Python tracker (original) (raw)

./configure + make fails with various errors on FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE

case $MAKEFLAGS in -s) CC='gcc -pthread' LDSHARED='gcc -shared' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes' ./python -E ./setup.py -q build;; *) CC='gcc -pthread' LDSHARED='gcc -shared' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes' ./python -E ./setup.py build;; esac Could not find platform independent libraries Could not find platform dependent libraries Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 6, in ? import sys, os, getopt, imp, re ImportError: No module named os *** Error code 1

If I run "make" again, it stops with this, instead, I found it strange because "pwd.so" isn't ready yet.

I've tried "make clean" + retry, giving --prefix=so-and-so to ./configure, and some other things without success.

I have already built exactly same Python source on this server several weeks ago (in a different directory), and do not understand why it's failing, now. (Possibly, admin updated something causing build process to fail...)

Thank you for the info. "export HOME" soplved the problem.

HOME wasn't exported because I was compiling on shared hosting environment, and the host doesn't set normal env variables.

I set HOME (and some other env var), but didn't export them. And that caused the build failure.
