Undefined symbols for Mac OS 10.14.4 build

[Mark Turner]

Hi,

I’m trying to build CPython 3.8 from source on Mac OS 10.14.4 and running into undefined symbols problem at the linker stage.The commands I’m using are:

./configure --with-pydebug
make -s -j2

The undefined symbols are listed below.

I’ve found that if I modify pyconfig.h by changing
#define HAVE_LIBINTL_H 1
to
#undef HAVE_LIBINTL_H
the build completes.


This is my first time trying this so I’m not very familiar with the build process. It seems like I must be missing something since I don't think modifying pyconfig.h is a normal part of the process. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark
