ctypes compilation fails on FreeBSD: Undefined symbol "ffi_call_win32" #66711
Comments
On buildbots FreeBSD 6.4 and 7.2, the compilation of the ctypes module fails because the function "ffi_call_win32" is missing. I don't understand why a "win32" function would be needed on FreeBSD!? http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20FreeBSD%207.2%203.x/builds/5618/steps/test/logs/stdio *** WARNING: renaming "_ctypes" since importing it failed: build/lib.freebsd-6.4-RELEASE-i386-3.5-pydebug/_ctypes.so: Undefined symbol "ffi_call_win32" |
I see the function defined in libffi, but I don't see it used in the ctypes module. Note: the system libffi is not used, these buildbots compile the embedded version of libffi: "checking for --with-system-ffi... no" in configure logs. |
Those FreeBSD versions are totally obsolete, perhaps we should simply ignore any failures on them. |
On modern FreeBSD version (10/stable) on i386 arch it fails with the following error: There is no such a problem on amd64. --with-system-ffi it works fine (system libffi is the same version: 3.0.13) |
FreeBSD 6.4 buildbot is broken (hg update fails), FreeBSD 7.2 is offline. I close the issue. |
FWIW, see bpo-23042 |
