Hi Alan,
The only way Python will build on a Mac is if it uses the customized Apple
gcc, so for Mac OS X (only), that compiler is hard-coded into the configure
script for Python (which in the case of OS X 10.5 and 10.6 is gcc-4.2). If
you run ./configure -nopython gnu, then it should skip building python and
and just stick to using your compilers (I use MacPorts myself, which comes
with gcc_select and doesn't require me to change compiler names in
configure).
I saw that you say you configured with -nopython and still see references to
/usr/bin/gcc-4.2, but I use Macs extensively and don't see that at all given
the -nopython option. Can you pipe the build log to a file and send that to
me along with your config.h?
All the best,
Jason
