I'm encountering a build problem for Python 2.6.4 on Snow Leopard.
- Mac OS X 10.6
- Yonah CPU, 32-bit
- gcc-4.2.1
Update I
Solved by removing all non-standard includes and libraries from CFLAGS (there happened to be a uuid/uuid.h in there ...). Still, it compiled despite the error describe below, with /usr/include/hfs/hfs_format.h:765 being a hot spot. For the curious or resourceful, the source file in question:
$ cat /usr/include/hfs/hfs_format.h
...
748 #include <uuid/uuid.h>
749
750 /* JournalInfoBlock - Structure that describes where our journal lives */
751
752 // the original size of the reserved field in the JournalInfoBlock was
753 // 32*sizeof(u_int32_t). To keep the total size of the structure the
754 // same we subtract the size of new fields (currently: ext_jnl_uuid and
755 // machine_uuid). If you add additional fields, place them before the
756 // reserved field and subtract their size in this macro.
757 //
758 #define JIB_RESERVED_SIZE ((32*sizeof(u_int32_t)) - sizeof(uuid_string_t) - 48)
759
760 struct JournalInfoBlock {
761 u_int32_t flags;
762 u_int32_t device_signature[8]; // signature used to locate device.
763 u_int64_t offset; // byte offset to the journal on the device
764 u_int64_t size; // size in bytes of the journal
765 uuid_string_t ext_jnl_uuid;
766 char machine_serial_num[48];
767 char reserved[JIB_RESERVED_SIZE];
768 } __attribute__((aligned(2), packed));
769 typedef struct JournalInfoBlock JournalInfoBlock;
...
I'm leaving the question open, since the build yielded too much warnings and this error and still puzzles me a bit ...
Update II
To get rid of the warnings regarding the deployment target, I edited the Makefile before compilation:
$ cat Makefile
...
126 MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 # => 10.6
...
Original Question
When trying to build Python 2.6.4 from source, I run into an error:
$ uname -v
$ Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0: Tue Nov 3 10:37:10 PST 2009; \

...
$ make
...
...
/usr/include/hfs/hfs_format.h:765: error: \

It seems to root in Python/mactoolboxglue.c. Hints welcome!
Also I get a lot of warnings of these kinds:
/usr/include/AvailabilityMacros.h:108:14: warning: #warning Building for \
