Hi Hynek,

Thanks for the help, but above command need to run in different way

./configure CC=clang make

this allowed me to build the code but when ran test I got following error message

[363/364/3] test_io python.exe(11411) malloc: *** mmap(size=9223372036854775808) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug python.exe(11411,0x7fff7a8ba960) malloc: *** mmap(size=9223372036854775808) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug python.exe(11411,0x7fff7a8ba960) malloc: *** mmap(size=9223372036854775808) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
