#29747 closed defect (wontfix)

python24 fails to build on my machine in the current version, yet python25 and python27 build fine.

This may have something to do with this line in my /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf, or maybe it's independent.

universal_archs i386 x86_64

"port info python24" says about this version:

python24 @2.4.6, Revision 9 (lang)

Does it build without universal?

Replying to roel@…:

Does it build without universal?

It builds without +universal indeed, so maybe the fix to #21248 did not work correctly or did not fix everything?

There have been a lot of changes since portfile r7 (my local version). Does r7 work for you?

$ cat /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf |grep universal_archs universal_archs x86_64 i386

$ port info python24 python24 @2.4.6, Revision 7 (lang) Variants: universal

I think I successfully reconstructed the python24 state of r7, but now it really fails in a way which seems to be caused by the 64bit compilation:

:info:build ./Include/pyport.h:629:2: error: #error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)."

Attachment:	main.2.log added

main.log for 2.4.6-r7, +universal

Summary:	python24 fails to build on OS X 10.5.8 → python24 +universal (x86_64/i386) fails to build on OS X 10.5.8

Python 2.6 was the first version that really worked when built 64-bit on OS X, so there may not be much that can reasonably be done here.

Resolution:	→ wontfix
Status:	new → closed

python24 is deprecated and scheduled to be removed in a couple of months.
