I mailed a message to this group about similar issues with 0.5.4 last
month, but I guess it got buried... ;)
The issues are (details below):
1) pyexpat.c fails to compile without changes, and still has warnings
when changed so that compilation does succeed
2) the linking step has a wildcard ("*") quoting problem
3) build_ext complains about old-style usage
4) parsers/xmlproc is an older version than that available from Lars's
website

(#111, Jun 13 2000, 03:39:26) [C] on osf1V4 from CVS 13th June
"python setup.py build" produces the following errors:

Specifying an actual size for handler_info[] by replacing line 82 with

allows the compilation to proceed, with the following warnings:

The link step also appears to have a wildcard quoting problem. The ld
command used is:
ld -shared -expect_unresolved "*"
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/pyexpat.o
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/expat/xmltok/xmltok.o
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/expat/xmltok/xmlrole.o
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/expat/xmlwf/xmlfile.o
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/expat/xmlwf/xmlwf.o
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/expat/xmlwf/codepage.o
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/expat/xmlparse/xmlparse.o
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/expat/xmlparse/hashtable.o
build/temp.osf1V-alpha/extensions/expat/xmlwf/unixfilemap.o -o
build/lib.osf1V-alpha/xml/parsers/pyexpat.so
which works correctly if put into a /bin/sh script produces pyexpat.so
without warnings of unresolved externals (the -expect_unresolved "*"
pattern matches all). However, when run by Python via the "python
setup.py build" command, ld complains about all the unresolved
externals:
ld:
Warning: Unresolved:
fread
strlen
strncpy
strcmp
free
malloc
PyType_Type
PyObject_GetAttrString
_Py_NoneStruct
PyObject_Init
<snipped>
as if the pattern that ld is trying to match is literally "*"
(double-quote-*-double-quote) instead of *
