[New-bugs-announce] [issue7398] Issue with _PyLong_Format while trying to build Python on HP-UX itanium

[Paul H]

New submission from Paul H <paulh.misc at gmail.com>:

Hello all,

First post here so go easy on me please! And please bear in mind I am
not a C programmer, just a unix admin trying to build python as an
option for other programmers to use.

I am trying to build Python 3.1.1 on HP-UX itanium. OS and compiler
details are as follows:

HP-UX <hostname> B.11.31 U ia64 2812253632 unlimited-user license
aCC: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.23 [May 18, 2009]

So far, with the help of this forum and documentation from this and
previous versions of Python, I have been working through the process as
follows:

export CC="/opt/aCC/bin/aCC -Ae +DD64"
export CFLAGS="-Ae +DD64"
export CXX="/opt/aCC/bin/aCC -Ae"
export CXXFLAGS="-Ae +DD64"
export LDFLAGS="+DD64 -L/usr/local/bzip2-1.0.3/lib"
./configure --prefix=<my target>/python/3.1.1 --without-gcc

unset CC CFLAGS CXX CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS
make

I've been working through the various errors I've been getting as best I
can and have hit one that I don't think I can progress:

"Python/../Objects/stringlib/formatter.h", line 1369: error #2140: too many
          arguments in function call
      return _PyLong_Format(value, base, 0, 1);

It looks like _PyLong_Format is defined in Objects/longobject.c.

Any ideas on how to progress this one, or indeed any tips to get a
successful build on my architecture, would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Paul.
