[Python-Dev] Adding GNU conditional execution in the Makefile? (original) (raw)

I don't know how widespread gmake is, but I certainly don't want Python to be dependent on GNU tools exclusively. You don't have to use GCC to compile it. (Autoconfig is a different story, it only is needed when config.inchanges. Similar, readline is optional.)

Working in the DTRACE probes, I think I can simplify the build logic quite a bit using the GNU Makefile conditional execution: <https://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/make/Conditional-Syntax.html>. In concrete, I have object files that must be compiled and linked, or not, according to a "configure" test result. But currently I think we are not using these features. Maybe because we don't want to force the use of GMAKE, I don't know. If this is a policy, I would like to know. And if somebody has a suggestion to cope with this difficulty... - -- Jesus Cea Avion // /// /// jcea at jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ // // // // // jabber / xmpp:jcea at jabber.org // // ///// . // // // // // "Things are not so easy" // // // // // // "My name is Dump, Core Dump" /// /// // // "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTuPrqZlgi5GaxT1NAQIRmQP/ebIcya/xg/lCTXPd6QyaBaFxrhL6jLiP osKeklCSH/aw6tt6v1lK7XgPf8HBEU11KGBmL4xJUsVcDExkNb3Mdu3bSW4Gb5ao Ep1PxvEWLxa/yVkKuvgdBpvdCoxibhNLfGgVTj08ZE18o9tGbhNKS6EN94uAQJT9 ZASlf8baOss= =5lr+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
