| 4 | If you are have a problem building on OpenBSD and see output like this
|
|---|
| 5 | while running configure:
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | checking curses.h presence... yes
|
|---|
| 8 | configure: WARNING: curses.h: present but cannot be compiled
|
|---|
| 9 | configure: WARNING: curses.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
|
|---|
| 10 | configure: WARNING: curses.h: see the Autoconf documentation
|
|---|
| 11 | configure: WARNING: curses.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
|
|---|
| 12 | configure: WARNING: curses.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
|
|---|
| 13 | configure: WARNING: curses.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | there is likely a problem that will prevent building python.
|
|---|
| 16 | If you see the messages above and are able to completely build python,
|
|---|
| 17 | please tell python-dev@python.org indicating your version of OpenBSD
|
|---|
| 18 | and any other relevant system configuration.
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | The build error that occurs while making may look something like this:
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | /usr/include/sys/event.h:53: error: syntax error before "u_int"
|
|---|
| 23 | /usr/include/sys/event.h:55: error: syntax error before "u_short"
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | To fix this problem, you will probably need update Python's configure
|
|---|
| 26 | script to disable certain options. Search for a line that looks like:
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | OpenBSD/2.* | OpenBSD/3.@<:@012345678@:>@)
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | If your version is not in that list, e.g., 3.9, add the version
|
|---|
| 31 | number. In this case, you would just need to add a 9 after the 8.
|
|---|
| 32 | If you modify configure.in, you will need to regenerate configure
|
|---|
| 33 | with autoconf.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | If your version is already in the list, this is not a known problem.
