Dennis says he has a minimal build. Hopefully, he can reply to document
what (if anything) beyond minimal config he did to get it to build. If
we can get this build asap, we can build more packages later today,
including the deps for python so that we can rebuild it fully, and then
have mock, and yum, and koji before Wednesday ;)
Jon.
what i did was
rpm -ivh python-src.rpm
rpmbuild -bp path/to/python.spec
cd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/Python-2.7.1/
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-dtrace --with-system-expat --with-system-ffi
--enable-shared
i think had to remove some references to dtrace in the Makefile and i commented
out in Modules/Setup the bits for tkinter
i then did a make -j2
you will need to make sure you have the expat and libffi rpms installed
