problem compiling python2.7

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SLED Applications
1

hello:

I am trying to compile python2.7 in SLED SP2 but it always failed with messages:

Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
_bsddb             _tkinter           bsddb185        
dl                 imageop            linuxaudiodev   
ossaudiodev        sunaudiodev                        
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.


Failed to build these modules:
_curses_panel

Since my another software highly depend how well the python it compiled, it always failed with messages:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython2.7 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status scons: *** [objs/Linux/x86_64/gcc-4.6/Release/lib/libDesmond.so] Error 1

So I am just wondering how should I compile my python 2.7 correctly?

thank you very much
best

Hi
Do you have an OBS account? Just branch and build (you can build
locally with the osc command)
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=python&project=devel%3Alanguages%3Apython%3AFactory

thank you for kind reply.
I never use OBS before. And I am reading the manual, here I use command:

osc co Base:build python-base

It download all related file as listed in the link you gave.

what I should do next, so that it can start to compile?

thank you very much

Hi
Have you added a SLE build target via the Web interface? When you do
that it should build automatically, from the command line it would be;

osc repos
osc build <your target from above output eg SLE_11_SP2> python-base

thank you for kind helps. But I don’t know how to add the build target from web interface… I am sorry I am not famililar with osc in SUSE.

Or, do you have any idea how to solve the issue claimed during the configuration so that I can compile it from source code?

[CODE]Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_bsddb bsddb185 dl
imageop linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev
sunaudiodev
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module’s name.

Failed to build these modules:
_curses_panel [/CODE]

THX a lot

Hi
Do you actually need those modules? If not, as indicated in the setup.py
as rem’ing them out…

I have branched python-base and see the same sort of errors…except it
fails some of the tests.

Probably I don’t need those modules, but when I skipped the warning and invoke this compiled python for compiling my other softwares, it always have the same issues which claimed:

Python-2.7.3/./Modules/posixmodule.c:7432: warning: the use of tmpnam_r' is dangerous, better use mkstemp’
Stride.o: In function ss_from_stride(DrawMolecule*)': Stride.C:(.text+0x41): warning: the use of tempnam’ is dangerous, better use `mkstemp’
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

So, this problem should comes from the issue when I compiling Python.

thank you very much

Hi
Those are only warnings which should not stop compiling, there must be
an ‘error’ further back in the log file.

Or try to disable them with --disable-werror when you configure…
