#16349: Request for 64-bit python variants on architectures that support it ------------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: macsforever2000@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Component: ports Version: 1.6.0 | Keywords: Port: python24 python25 python26 python30 | ------------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment(by jewart@…): Added two patch files for Python 2.5 to support the universal_archs setting in macports.conf. I had a bit of a row with this because the python port doesn't use autoconf, so I had to fix configure.in / Makefile.pre.in, and run autoconf, then diff the pre-existing configure script against the output from autoconf, as well as add support for the setting in the Makefile.pre.in. I'll try to add these changes to python26 and python30 when I have time. To make this work, you need to build macports from source using the x86_64 architecture and then add "universal_archs x86_64" to your macports.conf and add +universal to your variants.conf to make sure all your builds pick up the x86_64 settings. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16349#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
