Hi Hiro,

Are you using 2.7.2 or 3.2?

hi,Pual.I can't build _ctypes. Could you give me some help? Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: _bsddb _curses _curses_panel _sqlite3 _ssl _tkinter bsddb185 bz2 dbm dl gdbm imageop nis readline sunaudiodev zlib To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name. Failed to build these modules: _ctypes

I am trying to cross compile Python for MIPS on Mac OS X and am facing the same issue. Using .exe worked until I hit the problem of the system trying o use CoreFoundation. How was this issue resolved?

Hi yesuarj,

I would suggest cross-compiling ncurses individually and then pass in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to the configure to point to the ncurses that you have cross-compiled.

eg ./configure CFLAGS=/home/yesuarj/myncurses/include LDFLAGS=/home/yesuarj/myncurses/lib

Hi,
I compiled successfully, but i am not able to use ncurses modules in my python scripts. I hope ncurses modules are not build along. I installed ncurses in my ubuntu (The host machine OS that i use, it is “2.6.38-8-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:49:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux” machine) host machine.
When i do host configuration, that is before applying patches if i do ./configure
the ncurses libs status shows as follows,

checking ncurses.h usability… yes
checking ncurses.h presence… yes
checking for ncurses.h… yes

But after applying patches if i do the follow configure command

CC=/usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc CXX=/usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ AR=/usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ar RANLIB=/usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlib ./configure –host=arm-linux –build=x86_64-linux-gnu –prefix=/python

The ncurses libs status shows as folows,
checking ncurses.h usability… no
checking ncurses.h presence… no
checking for ncurses.h… no

Can some one help me to build my python with ncurses modules

Thanks in advance

Hi yesuraj,

We don’t currently build a shared library, only the static libpython2.7.a is generated. You should link against this instead. The shared library isn’t required for running python on the target.

Hi,
After following the above steps, i successfully compiled python for arm architecture. But at the end i don’t find the libpython2.7.so.1.0 anywhere.
Can some one help me in this regard

I noticed today that the 2.6 and 2.7 patches above are not working on Linux 3.0 host machines such as Ubuntu 11.10. I have updated version 2.6.6 and 2.7.2 to include a patch that works on Linux 3.0 hosts. Python 3 patches are not affected by this.

I have also removed all previous 2.6 and 2.7 patches to make the site cleaner.
