Bug 381945 – =dev-python:gst-python-0.10.21 doesn't compile against Python2.4

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Weber (RETIRED) 2011-09-05 15:32:10 UTC]

build.log on amd64

USE_PYTHON="2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 3.1" emerge -av1 dev-python/gst-python
does not work on amd64/ppc/sparc

Please restrict the 2.4 ABI in the ebuild.

Thanks

Yes, I'm well aware that this touches stable ebuilds. 
But please, lets spare the revbump/stabelization round for this out-of-date python version.

config.log

[Comment 3 Mart Raudsepp 2011-10-29 18:20:52 UTC]

The undefined references in the config.log suggest you had a broken python-2.4 instead, from some glibc upgrades or whatnot. You getting the undefined refs for stuff in libpthread and libm stuff, linking against a static python library for some reason, but gst-python is passing -lm and -lpthread to the compiler fine per the log.
Also I have recently cross-compiled gst-python against python-2.4 fine on a non-gentoo system, so it should work fine upstream against python-2.4.
Please re-test and investigate and reopen if still a Gentoo package problem suspected
