How do I get the SGI specific modules to compile?

The python README states:

On SGI IRIX, there are modules that interface to many
SGI specific system libraries, e.g. the GL library and
the audio hardware. These modules will not be built
by the setup.py script.
I have an SGI running Irix 6.5.17 with MIPSpro 7.3 compiler
and would like to build these modules. I have used the
search at python.org, and I have searched the archives of
this news group and of comp.sys.sgi.* I have not found
an explanation of how to do this in any of these. The
closest I came was a recipe for python 1.5.* that suggested
I build and install python without these modules, set my
python path to that installed python, uncomment the lines
in Modules/Setup that referred to these SGI specific modules,
and do another make. I tried this and it failed with error
messages about too many arguments and a don't know how to
make glmodule.c

Therefore, how do I get these to compile?

I'm fairly new to PHP, but a long time Perl coder. This is probably answered somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. The "strength" behind Perl is in its modules; are there modules available like that for PHP? TIA, Mike

Hi, I've been using Python on both Windows 2000 and Linux for some time now. On Windows I've used PythonWin as editor, Emacs on Linux. This has been working ok so far. Now as Python will be a part of Mac OS X Panther will this affect Pythons support for platform-specific modules in a big way? I'm not a Mac-expert, but OS X is basically a Unix-clone as base with a Apple-GUI on top, right? So most *nix apps will compile and run nicely on...

Hello, I have a question. I have a big project, and all the modules are over 100, some of dll was referenced by most of the modules (dll, exe) When one EXE call a DLL, if some functions in the DLL was modified, for example: fix some bugs, usually all the modules will be recompiled, but because we have too much modules, if we do the build, all of the modules need to be update to the customs to maintenance the version. So I want to know if...

Hi there, we are rewriting our .NET 1.1 web application with VS. 2005 and .NET 2.0, it takes big work but we believe there is a point to do that... at least we hope! we believe that: 1) the coding and debugging support of VS 2005 is much better and useful than in VS 2003, so, better debug, easier life for the developers :-)

Hi all, I'm a newbie when it comes to distributing C-based Python modules. I'm just now sharing my first with the rest of the world (it's actually V. Marangozov's shared memory module for IPC) and I've learned that the module needs a different set of compile flags for Linux than for my Mac. My question is this: is there a convention or standard that says where platform-specific compile flags should reside? I could put them in setup.py,...

I have an application that was originally built using Visual Studio 2003 that I upgraded to Visual Studio 2005. When I attempt to build the *.msi file in the deployment project, I am getting a compile error stating that it cannot find: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\Crystal_regwiz2003.msm" I am not sure where to get this file or even if it is appropriate (i.e., should there be a newer version for Visual Studio 2005).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
