#17306: Python25 won't build universal i386 + x86_64 binaries on Leopard ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: 10.50@free.fr | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: python25 | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by 10.50@free.fr): Got it. There is a QuickTime dependency in python25 (in the mactoolboxglue.[hc]) file and the QuickTime.h header states clearly that QT is not available to 64-bit clients. Thus, either one disables QuickTime support in python25 (which can seem reasonnable after all), or ports must duplicate py25-* to py26-* (which is mostly a minor rewrite of most modules) in order to retain compatibility with python 2 API and provide a 64-bit python binary. That's Leopard: one foot in 32, one foot in 64, and what's inbetween? ;) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17306#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
