Compiling 2.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.1 - test failures

[Richard Jones]

Hi all, I'm trying to get python built on my mac powerbook running OS X 10.1. 
I've edited the configure script so that LDSHARED is defined as

 LDSHARED=   $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress

for Darwin. I then ran configure with:

OPT='-O3 -no-cpp-precomp' ./configure --with-suffix=.exe --with-dyld \
  --program-transform-name=s/.exe//g

Compiling went OK. Then I tried "make test". Oh dear.

test_largefile: took about 2.5 minutes. Top reported that it was mostly 
"stuck" and occasionally "running" - using very little CPU and no disk that I 
could detect (by the scientific aural detection process ;) When it was 
finished, it printed the message "@test exists: 0". No idea if this normal - 
my Linux machine doesn't have large file support.

test_re: got a segfault (with -O3, -O2 and no optimisation at all)


Also, the program-transform-name didn't appear to do anything. My programs 
were installed with the .exe extension.
