-Subject: dynamic loading on NeXTSTEP

-These are the steps that I took to get dynamic loading working under NeXTSTEP
-(3.3 m68k, i486) for Python1.4beta3 (including the Numeric stuff).
-Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the configure scripts, so I don't
-know how to fix these things properly, but this works for me. I would be
-interested in how other people have done this as well.
-
-/configure --prefix=/home/horst/Unix --with-readline=/home/horst/Unix/lib
---with-thread --with-next-archs='m68k i486' --without-libm
-
-edit Python/importdl.c
- under:
- #ifdef USE_RLD
- add:
- #define SHORT_EXT ".a"
- #define LONG_EXT "module.a"
-
-edit Modules/Setup
- uncomment *shared*
- (other editing as desired)
-
-make (just to create the Makefiles)
-
-edit Makefiles
- change all AR= ar to AR = libtool
- change all $(AR) cr ... to $(AR) -o ...
- in Modules/Makefile change:
- libm =
- LDSHARED= cc -r -nostdlib $(CFLAGS)
- CCSHARED= -r -nostdlib
- LINKFORSHARED= -u libsys_s
-
-make "OPT=-O3 -fschedule-insns2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"

-Wow, I guess I was overzealous with the optimizations. Upon further
-testing, I discovered that the Numeric stuff did not work properly on
-Intel machines, but did work properly on m68k. I dropped the
-optimization to -O2 (leaving out the -fschedule-insns2), and it seems
-to behave properly on both architectures now.
-
-So,
-
-make "OPT=-O2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"
-
-looks like a better choice.
-
-Sorry for the misguidance,
