#18618: Python-2.6.1 +universal Installation Error - symbol not found during staging ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: griff.rees@… | Owner: blb@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: python26 64bit | Port: python26 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by mcalhoun@…): Replying to [comment:5 griff.rees@…]:
Cool. Thanks very much. Would there be any downside to me switching my universal build to _just_ 64_bit, and then rebuilding my whole system that way (thus just using the universal variant as a proxy for 64_bit)?
Unfortunately, the answer depends on which ports your want to install.[[BR]] Some support universal builds and some do not. There is the additional wrinkle that special code gets invoked when there is just one architecture in the universal build.[[BR]] I am not sure what the motivation for it was, but it has caused problems at least [http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18187#comment:10 once before].[[BR]] For this reason, I would suggest that perhaps i386/x86_64 universal is a safer bet. Setting +universal in [http://guide.macports.org/#internals.configuration- files.variants-conf variants.conf] might make it easier to build everything as a universal. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18618#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
