I ran into an issue compiling Python 2.6.2 and creating a zip with the standard library. It couldn’t import anything, printing and error:

zipimport.ZipImportError: can’t decompress data; zlib not available

So I simply copied zlib.so to /python/lib/python2.6 and it worked.
Just posting here to help my future self

Compiling on Mac OS X: using .exe trick resolved the first problem, but still the system thinks it is compiling something for mac, since it is trying to use CodeFoundation and so. What should I do? I tried removing mac-related lines from Makefile manually but no luck.

Thanks for the great explanation and patches. Guido, this should be in the mainline! To encourage the use of Python in embedded development it should be as easy as possible to cross-compile it (at least, no source code patching should be needed).

I was expecting a trackback to pop up, but I posted about using your technique and getting functional _ctypes support in the bargain. It occurs to me you could incorporate the technique into future patches.

Thank you for your work for cross compile python.I followed your instructions to cross compile python2.6.4 for powerpc405 (i used eldk as cross compile tool). The compilation process was ok, and no errors occured.

Great tutorial! If you’re cross-compiling in OS X, the python executable is actually called python.exe (since OS X filenames are case-insensitive). So the make and mv commands should be:

make python.exe Parser/pgen

mv python.exe hostpython
