I did build Python 2.5 on a Solaris 10 Ultra 20 machine (Opteron) but
using the SUN compilers. Two changes were needed in the Makefile:
CXX=CC and CCSHARED=-KPIC.
There are a few issues which I have not investigated further (like Tcl
and ffitarget.h), but the tests pass except for 3 unexpected skips.
Other than that, Python 2.5 seems to be running fine, so far.
Also, I am using the Python 2.4 build for Solaris build from
ActiveState as well as Python 2.3.3 which is distributed with Solaris
in /usr/sfw/bin.

Hi,
I want to compile python on my solaris 10 system (amd 64 bit).
I did the following:
./configure --prefix=/opt/64/python
make
which resulted in this error:
"Include/pyport.h", line 730: #error: "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong
for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)."
so I edited the file and removed the error line and did a configure and
make again after a make distclean.
after a new make I get this error complaining about 32 and 64 bit.
ld: fatal: file Parser/acceler.o: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
when I look to the cc statements none of my CFLAGS are passed while these
are in my environment;
CC=cc
CFLAGS=-xO3 -mt -fsimple=1 -ftrap=%none -nofstore -xbuiltin=%all -xlibmil
-xlibmopt -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64 -xregs=no%frameptr
CXX=CC
CXXFLAGS=-xO3 -mt -fsimple=1 -ftrap=%none -nofstore -xbuiltin=%all
-xlibmil -xlibmopt -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64 -xregs=no%frameptr
LDFLAGS=-xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64
anybody succesfully compiled python on solaris?
thanks,
