Description
Hi I've tried to install the python21 port on a new Mac Book Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.4 and Xcode 3.0. At first I got en error since apparently the Python FTP site (ftp.python.org) is unreachable. I don't know if this is a temporary problem or not. Anyway I downloaded the Portfile and changed the master_sites variable as stated below: master_sites http://ftp.python.org/ftp/python/${version}/
I put the Portfile in my local portfiles repository, run the portindex utility and launched a "sudo port install python21" command.
Everything starts nicely (the python package gets downloaded) but the build process ends with the following error: /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -L/opt/local/lib -u dummy -framework System -framework Foundation -o python.exe \
Modules/python.o \ libpython2.1.a -lpthread -ldl
Undefined symbols:
"dummy", referenced from:
ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Any hint?
TIA Ciao, Luca De Santis Pisa, Italy

Python 2.1 was last updated upstream in April 2002, so it isn't too surprising that it fails to build with a newer OS and newer compiler. In fact, any Python prior to 2.3 will probably have similar issues.
