Category: Installation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mitchell L Model (mlm) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: -flat_namespace not in Makefile.pre.in for Darwin/MacOS

Initial Comment: Python 2.2a4 fixed Python 2.1's inadequate LDSHARED setting for Darwin/OS X as far as building Python is concerned. However, it does not go quite far enough and the problem still exists for building other software that uses a similar configuration process, in particular Zope 2.4(.1). It turns out that the top-level Makefile and Makefile.pre both have -flat_namespace correctly set, but Makefile.pre.in does not. Since Makefile.pre.in gets installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.2/config, and other software using this build process reference Makefile.pre.in from there, -flat_namespace isn't set for the other software. Manually adding:

LDSHARED= (CC)(CC) (CC)(LDFLAGS) -flat_namespace -undefined suppress

fixed the problem, at least for building Zope 2.4. I don't know how much of that is actually needed other than -flat_namespace.

Please fix this for the real release! The improvements for building on Mac OS X are wonderful -- it would be a shame for them to fail for the lack of one line in one file!

(I'm using Mac OS 10.1, in case that matters, with the developer tools installed.)
