[kencu (Ken)]

python311 installed on Tiger Intel as is, but the installation on Tiger PPC required a trivial tweak to the ldflags.

I'll PR that in a bit.

[kencu (Ken)]

the fix needed on Tiger PPC was this:

configure.ldflags-append -Wl,-read_only_relocs,suppress

but we have to see if that is just for TigerPPC, or also for Leopard PPC. It is related to gcc7 being the compiler? Or the system.

And then not sure about +universal yet. Because of the need for gcc7, the only universal that is now possible is either "i386/x86_64" or "ppc/ppc64" and not many people are actually trying to build those archs on these old systems.

So a bit of work to do to get it exactly right, but it does work:

$ port -v installed python311
The following ports are currently installed:
  python311 @3.11.1_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 8' archs='ppc' date='2022-12-16T12:59:57-0800'

[kencu (Ken)]

same error happens on Leopard PPC building python311.

[kencu (Ken)]

Also happens on Leopard Intel when building as PPC, but not when building as PPC. Which might be the different linker (ld64-97 vs ld64-127) or maybe something to do with building for PPC...

In e2d0e39b88abbffda2a88004d1665577911b3143/macports-ports (master):

python311: fix linker error on PPC

with PPC builds only, it seems, there is a linker
error involving relocs. This is not happening with
32bit builds on Intel however.
