Dependencies

Optional

• OpenSSL

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../Python-2.5-gdbm-1.patch &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared &&
make

Install the package

make install

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../Python-2.5-gdbm-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --enable-shared &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/python{,-32} &&
mv -v /usr/bin/python2.5{,-32} &&
mv -v /usr/include/python2.5/pyconfig{,-32}.h

N32

Change the libdir that Python is going to use to lib32:

patch -Np1 -i ../Python-2.5-multilib-1.patch
sed -i -e "s:@@MULTILIB_DIR@@:lib32:g" \
        Lib/distutils/command/install.py \
        Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py \
        Lib/site.py \
        Makefile.pre.in \
        Modules/Setup.dist \
        Modules/getpath.c \
        setup.py

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../Python-2.5-gdbm-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --libdir=/usr/lib32 --enable-shared &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/python{,-n32} &&
mv -v /usr/bin/python2.5{,-n32} &&
mv -v /usr/include/python2.5/pyconfig{,-n32}.h

64Bit

Change the libdir that Python is going to use to lib64:

patch -Np1 -i ../Python-2.5-multilib-1.patch
sed -i -e "s:@@MULTILIB_DIR@@:lib64:g" \
        Lib/distutils/command/install.py \
        Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py \
        Lib/site.py \
        Makefile.pre.in \
        Modules/Setup.dist \
        Modules/getpath.c \
        setup.py

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../Python-2.5-gdbm-1.patch &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-shared &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/python{,-64} &&
mv -v /usr/bin/python2.5{,-64} &&
ln -sfv multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/python &&
ln -sfv multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/python2.4 &&
mv -v /usr/include/python2.5/pyconfig{,-64}.h
