[Python-Dev] --with-tsc compile fails (original) (raw)

I'm feeling pretty out of it :-). I'm very happy to see that the Pentium tsc patch made it into the core; I had missed it. I'm amused that the Pentium tsc patch works for PPC, too. Anyway, I tried to use it this evening and the compilation failed:

../Python/ceval.c:50:21: asm/msr.h: No such file or directory ../Python/ceval.c: In function PyEval_EvalFrame': ../Python/ceval.c:575: warning: implicit declaration of function rdtscll' ../Python/ceval.c:572: warning: inst0' might be used uninitialized in this function ../Python/ceval.c:572: warning: inst1' might be used uninitialized in this function ../Python/ceval.c:572: warning: loop0' might be used uninitialized in this function ../Python/ceval.c:572: warning: loop1' might be used uninitialized in this function

It sounds like <asm/msr.h> is for Microsoft platforms, but I'm building on Linux. Perhaps the change to add PPC support screwed up the ifdefs that were detecting a Windows compile? Does it work for anyone else?
