Category: Build Group: Python 2.2 Status: Closed Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Michael Piotrowski (mxp) Assigned to: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Summary: configure weaknesses on HP-UX

Initial Comment:

  1. configure doesn't handle HP-UX release numbers (e.g., B.11.00), resulting in MACHDEP = "hpuxB".

  2. After checking for wchar.h, configure doesn't include it when checking the size of wchar_t.

(Python 2.2b1 on HP-UX 11.00)

Thist patch has no effect on threads. However, threads do work (i.e., are recognized by configure) on HP-UX 11 since 2.2b1 (I just wanted to submit a patch to the 2.2a4 configure.in when 2.2b1 was released). I am willing to support you regarding HP-UX, if necessary (there still seem to be some open issues).

Thanks! Checked into CVS.

With this patch, do threads work on your system? (We've had long-standing complaints that Python can't be built with threads on HP-UX 11, but these are hard to verify for us. It would be great if we could say with confidence that this is fixed in 2.2b2.)
