[Scons-users] Segmentation faults in scons-2.2.0

[Chris Irvine]

I have used Cygwin in the past but I thought this Interix method would work,
especially for very large where 64 bit is needed. datasets.  I'm finding
that every program is tough to get going.

 

The my problem is a configuration file that is missing from the Interix
python setup.  It's a file called pyconfig.h and its in the
/usr/local/include/python2.6   directory.  Scons must need this.  I'll have
to get it created properly.

 

 

 

Cheers

In theory, no program written in python should be able to crash the python
interpreter itself, which is what is happening to you.  What this means is
there's a definitely a bug in python on Interix.  The crash may or may not
be due to a higher-level bug (e.g. something in SCons), but at this point
what you're seeing is too far from the SCons code to be able to tell.  In
order to make further progress, you'd probably have to build python from
source on your Interix box -- not at all impossible, if you have a C/C++
development environment, but might be more than you're willing to get into.

 

I know it's not really relevant, but might cygwin be a possible replacement
for Interix for you?  It's much more widely used, I think, and probably
better supported.

The core can be looked at with that "gbd python core" command.  Thanks.  It
shows the three warnings below and they are repeated numerous times, always
as warnings. 

 

This GDB was configured as "i586-pc-interix3"...

Core was generated by `python /usr/local/bin/scons -H'.

done.

 

 

My system is Interix 6.1 and 64 bit system.  Microsoft regard Interix as
third-party software now.  The Microsoft link about vfork you had is for
Interix 3 and written back in 2005.  I hope it has been fixed??  In the
python makefile, it has  

 

MACHDEP=   interix6

 

The configuration may be the culprit.

python --version

I don't know anything about Interix -- does Microsoft even still support it?
If it's Unix-like enough, you can try to do

  gdb python core

and then type 'where' to see the stack trace. But that will be at too low a
level to see what python was trying to do at the time of failure.  And your
log above shows it might not even be writing the core files it says it is.

I suppose it could be this issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328684
Might be worth trying that patch anyway.

 

Does python work at all?
