Summary: --disable-sunaudiodev --disable-tk does not work

Initial Comment:
trying to disable sunaudiodev and tk does not really 
work in solaris.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Python-2.5 --enable-
shared --disable-sunaudiodev --disable-tk

is it possible to correct this or state clearly in 
the configure options how to disable it correctly?

we also checked the Modules/Setup and both seems 
commented.

It's not sun/audioio.h that's missing, but (apparently)
/usr/include/sys/audioio.h; this
should have come from the SUNWaudh package (Audio Header Files).

If you want to find out what works and what not, you should run the test
suite.

which header files do you mean? the sun/audioio.h header file e.g. is not
there, but standard sun header files of course are there.

it is though possible to get a running python. but i'm unsure what works
and what not, so you could classify it as "cleanup" too, if you prefer.

You still haven't demonstrated a problem. Compiling Python produces some
error messages, sure, but does the resulting Python binary actually work
or not?

If it works, what is the problem? That you appreciate not to see error
messages does not make it a bug.

You cannot build Python *at all* with just the standard gnu from
sunfreeware.com. You do need system header files, and those are not
provided by GCC. So if you have header files, where did you get them from?

may i open it again? 

there is a lot of builds on solaris without the core development
environment, so assuming it is there is erronous.

e.g. we build everything with standard gnu from e.g. sunfreeware.com.

Closing as "won't fix". There are no plans to implement 
--disable-sunaudiodev --disable-tk options to configure.

The component isn't vital. It shouldn't be relevant for 
building sunaudiodev whether an audio device is present in
the system, as this device isn't necessary for *building*
Python. Instead, presence of /usr/include/sys/audioio.h
is necessary. I'm puzzled that this file isn't there (it
is part of the core development environment, AFAIK); the
build process assumes that the header is present if the
system name is "sunos5".

i would appreciate if the build completes without errors. i won't care if
it attemts to build, but it should figure 
out that the sunaudiodev is not there. to my knowledge servers do not need
that component. and python should not 
need it too then. 

do you see any reason why these components are vital for python?

It doesn't build the modules, as it doesn't succeed when
attempting to. Why do you want it not to attempt?

what do you suggest then to convince the build not to build it?

Re: enable/disable: What makes you think "sunaudiodev" and
"tk" are valid values for "FEATURE"? configure --help lists
the valid values for FEATURE, namely universalsdk,
framework, shared, profiling, toolbox-glue, ipv6, and unicode.

Re: there is a compilation error. Sure, an error is
reported. However, compilation should not fail because of
that. Instead, compilation should complete successfully, and
just end up not building these modules.

and there is no X on the server.

and what does that mean?

Optional Features:
  --disable-FEATURE       do not include FEATURE (same as
--enable-FEATURE=no)
  --enable-FEATURE[=ARG]  include FEATURE [ARG=yes]

because there is a compilation error with both. sunaudio.h seems not to
exist on our 
server, and tk gives other compilation errors.

and i have no idea why i would need these modules on our server.

I fail to see a bug here. What makes you think
--disable-sunaudiodev --disable-tk exist? ./configure --help
does not claim they do.

In fact, it is not possible to disable modules. Why do you
want that?
