[Python-Dev] XP build failing (original) (raw)

Looks like Tim's XP box is crapping out on a header file included from Tcl/Tk. Did the Tcl/Tk folk just break something and we are doing an external svn pull and thus got bit by it?

No, that comes straight out of

http://svn.python.org/projects/external/tcl8.4.12/generic/tclDecls.h atleast in theory: there is a build process for tcl running if it wasn't built before. Could just as well also be a hard disk corruption.

It's a Mystery, and I couldn't find anything wrong in tclDecls.h by eyeball either. Blowing away some directories to force a rebuild of the tcltk directory appears to have cured it. There's no other evidence of disk problems here, but after the current test run finishes I'm taking the box down to run some pre-boot disk diagnostics. I probably left the 2.4 buildbot tree in a broken state, BTW -- if I don't remember to fix that, somebody poke me :-)
