[issue3785] Can't build ctypes of Python 2.5.2 with Sun Studio 12

[Thomas Heller]

Thomas Heller <theller at ctypes.org> added the comment:

The libffi library in Python 2.5 is too old and won't be upgraded to a
newer version.

I see several possibilities for you:

- Use Python 2.6 (if you can live with the beta or wait for the release)

- Use Python 2.5, compile with GCC

- Use Python 2.5, and build/install the ctypes version from Python SVN
trunk as add-on module, it is available here:
http://svn.python.org/projects/ctypes/branches/ctypes-1.1/

Closing as wont fix, sorry.

----------
resolution:  -> wont fix
status: open -> closed
