At this time, Python only supports BeOS on the PowerPC platform; if you'd

like to help me port it to the x86 platform, please let me know (I only

9-
me an x86 laptop running BeOS to do the port, _definitely_ let me know! :-)

Compiling Your Own Version

To compile your own version of Python 1.5.1 for BeOS (with any luck,
45-
Python 1.6 will compile "out of the box" on BeOS), try this:
46-
47-
1) Get the Python 1.5.1 source code from ftp.python.org.
48-
49-
2) Get the Python 1.5.1 diffs from my web pages
50-
(http://www.qnx.com/~chrish/Be/software/); if you can't get them through
51-
a web browser, send me email and I'll mail them back to you. These
52-
diffs should also be available at ftp.python.org along with the BeOS
53-
binary archive.
54-
55-
Run autoconf. If you don't have autoconf, you can get a precompiled
56-
version from GeekGadgets (ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/geekgadgets/...).

AR=ar-posix RANLIB=: ./configure --verbose --without-gcc \
44+
AR=$(pwd)/BeOS/ar-fake RANLIB=: ./configure --verbose --without-gcc \
6445
--prefix=/boot/home/config --with-thread
6546

66-
The only strange thing that happens during the configure is that
67-
we fail the "genuine getopt()" test; this is odd because we've got
68-
a real live GNU getopt() in the system libs. Other packages built
69-
using configure (such as all of the goodies in GeekGadgets) suffer
70-
the same fate though, so it's not a Python problem.

3) Copy Modules/Setup.in to Modules/Setup.

5) Copy Modules/Setup.in to Modules/Setup.

7350

74-
6) Edit Modules/Setup to turn on all the modules you want built. I've
75-
personally built the following modules:
51+
Make sure you use _socket instead of socket for the name of the
52+
socketmodule on BeOS.
7653

77-
array, audioop, binascii, cPickle, cStringIO, cmath, crypt, curses,
78-
errno, fcntl, gdbm, grp, imageop, math, md5, new, operator, parser,
79-
pcre, posix, pwd, readline, regex, reop, rgbimg, rotor, select,
80-
signal, socket, soundex, strop, struct, syslog, termios, thread,
81-
time, timing, zlib
54+
If you want the modules to be built as shared libraries, instead of as
55+
part of the Python shared library, be sure to uncomment the #*shared*
56+
line.
8257

83-
Newly compiled/tested with 1.5.1:
84-
85-
_locale

You can get precompiled gdbm, ncurses, and zlib libraries from the
88-
GeekGadgets repository (ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/geekgadgets/...).

make AR=$(pwd)/BeOS/ar-fake RANLIB=: OPT=-DUSE_DL_EXPORT \
65+
CCSHARED=-UUSE_DL_EXPORT

101-
You can safely ignore any warnings you see during the build (and you'll
102-
see several if you use full warnings; I compiled the distribution with
103-
-w9 -ansi strict and cleaned up any errors...).
67+

make AR=$(pwd)/BeOS/ar-fake RANLIB=: OPT=-DUSE_DL_EXPORT \
70+

10972
Expect the following errors:
11073

111-
test_builtin failed -- round(1000000000.0)
112-
test_fcntl skipped -- an optional feature could not be imported
11374
test_grp crashed -- exceptions.KeyError : getgrnam(): name not found
11475
test_pwd failed -- Writing: 'fakename', expected: 'caught e'
11576
test_socket crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError : SOCK_RAW
11677

11778
These are all due to either partial support for certain things (like
118-
sockets), or valid differences between systems (like the round()
119-
error; different CPUs represent floating point numbers differently,
120-
which can cause minor rounding errors).
121-
122-
9) Install:
123-
124-
make install
79+
sockets), or valid differences between systems.

10) Enjoy!
81+
NOTE: On R4/x86, the pause() function is broken; expect the signal
82+
module test to crash Python!

NOTE

8) Install:
12985

130-
If you're going to build your own C/C++-based Python modules, link them
131-
against the libpython1.5.so shared library (in /boot/home/config/lib)
132-
instead of the libpython1.5.a (in /boot/home/config/lib/python1.5/config),
133-
unless you're building a statically-linked python interpreter (then you
134-
could try linking against _APP_ instead).
86+
make AR=$(pwd)/BeOS/ar-fake RANLIB=: OPT=-DUSE_DL_EXPORT \
87+
CCSHARED=-UUSE_DL_EXPORT install
13588

136-
Mixing modules linked against the shared library with a statically-linked
137-
interpreter is a bad idea (and it'll fail in _interesting_ ways).
89+
9) Enjoy!
