Python for BeOS R5
In Python-2.1, the standard version of the new setup.py program
will not build the full complement of modules on BeOS. Instead,
please replace it with the special BeOS version in Misc/BeOS-setup.py.
To build,
1) cp Misc/BeOS-setup.py setup.py
2) ./configure --prefix=/boot/home/config
3) make
The modules will all build, except termios which assumes some flags
we don't have. Put a libreadline.a in /boot/home/config/lib to get
a readline.so for your interactive editing convenience; NB, not
libreadline.so, you want to link a static readline library into the
dynamically loaded Python module.
Test:
make test
The BeOS is Not UNIX category:
- test_select crashed -- select.error : (-2147459072, 'Bad file descriptor')
- test_socket crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError : SOCK_RAW
- test_fcntl crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno -2147483643] Invalid argument
This one is funny! BeOS does support large files, and that's why
we get this error: the file is too big for my filesystem!
- test_largefile crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno -2147459065]
No space left on device
- test_pickle crashed. This is apparently a serious problem, "complex"
number objects reconstructed from a pickle don't compare equal to
their ancestors. But it happens on BeOS PPC only, not Intel.
Install:
make install
