I wanted to add Python 2.7 to Unix.
I downloaded the sources to the VirtualBox on which the Unix is installed.

./configure is successful.
make is successful after I manually applied the changes in http://bugs.python.org/issue24611

However, 'make install' fails the installation of man pages (see attached).

(Note that Python 2.7.10 is installed and is accessible as /usr/local/bin/python2.7)


Environment:

OS  Unixware 7.1.4
Python   2.7.10
CC  Optimizing C Compilation System (CCS) 4.2 05/11/04 (ux714.bl3af)

It would be more helpful if you sent text output instead of graphical screenshot. Just redirect stdout and stderr of the command to the file.

    make install >make_install_fail.txt 2>&1

@Serhiy,
Not only would posting text be clearer, but much easier.
Alas, the Unixware I use is on a VirtualBox, and VitualBox does not support Guest Extension on Unixware - which means that neither cut-and-paste nor sharing host filesystem are possible.

So, unless I get any ideas of how to get text off my Unixware on VirtualBox, screenshots are all I have.

At a guess, the version of `make` used in your environment was not able to handle a comment.  However, Python 2.7 has now reached end-of-life and as such I'm closing this issue.  If you can still reproduce the issue with a modern version of Python (3.6-3.8) we can consider reopening the issue, but as UnixWare is not a supported platform the chances of anyone else being able to track down the issue and supply a patch are pretty slim.
