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:

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

Yes, it passes the thread tests.

Other things that I'm aware of (if not noted otherwise, I haven't done further investigations yet):

On HP-UX 10.20 and 11:

Building the curses module (Bug #432497): I've got a patch for configure.in, but I'm not sure if OPT is the right place to prepend a -I option--shall I attach it to bug #432497?
test_locale is skipped: This is only because HP-UX uses en_US.iso88591 instead of en_US patch for test_locale.py attached.
configure detects large-file support, but test_largefile is skipped

On HP-UX 11, when building a 64-bit (LP64) executable (don't know if anybody wants to do this):

curses can't be built. This might be because there's no 64-bit libtermcap
test_??? and test_??? fail.

On HP-UX 10.20:

It is not clear which threads work. DCE threads seem not to work (tested), GNU pth should work (not yet tested). However, configure detects pthread_create in -lcma, so that the build fails if --without-threads is not specified (this is acceptable, I think, if it's documented).
Even if building --without-threads, 7 tests failed: test_fpformat test_mimetypes test_pyclbr test_socket test_sundry test_urllib test_urllib2.

(I'm currently doing all builds with HP C)

Do the tests for threads pass? (test_thread.py, test_threading.py, test_threaded_import.py, test_threadedtempfile.py) That would be great news!

If there are any other problems on HP-UX, it would be great if you could help out. Do you know what those problems are?

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.)
