9 These are the steps that I took to get dynamic loading working under NeXTSTEP
10 (3.3 m68k, i486) for Python1.4beta3 (including the Numeric stuff).
11 Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the configure scripts, so I don't
12 know how to fix these things properly, but this works for me. I would be
13 interested in how other people have done this as well.
15 /configure --prefix=/home/horst/Unix --with-readline=/home/horst/Unix/lib
16 --with-thread --with-next-archs='m68k i486' --without-libm
18 edit Python/importdl.c
22 #define SHORT_EXT ".a"
23 #define LONG_EXT "module.a"
27 (other editing as desired)
29 make (just to create the Makefiles)
32 change all AR= ar to AR = libtool
33 change all $(AR) cr ... to $(AR) -o ...
34 in Modules/Makefile change:
36 LDSHARED= cc -r -nostdlib $(CFLAGS)
37 CCSHARED= -r -nostdlib
38 LINKFORSHARED= -u libsys_s
40 make "OPT=-O3 -fschedule-insns2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"

66 Wow, I guess I was overzealous with the optimizations. Upon further
67 testing, I discovered that the Numeric stuff did not work properly on
68 Intel machines, but did work properly on m68k. I dropped the
69 optimization to -O2 (leaving out the -fschedule-insns2), and it seems
70 to behave properly on both architectures now.
74 make "OPT=-O2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"
76 looks like a better choice.
78 Sorry for the misguidance,
