#17998: Linking to Python 2.5 framework is broken due to broken symlinks --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: evert.rol@… | Owner: mww@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: python boost framework symlink | Port: python25 --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Comment(by mleinart@…): I had this same problem while trying to compile boost+python25 - quite annoying. Using the directory structure above fixes it. I'm not sure about the .a vs .dylib - it feels like an error, but doesnt break anything for me. Note that there *is* a libpython2.5.dylib but it's only in /opt/local/lib/ and is created by a post-destroot action in the Portfile.. Anyway, I'm attaching a patch to fix the line in the Portfile that's conflicting with the relative symlink created by Python's Mac/Makefile -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17998#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
