I have an OpenBSD box running Python 2.6. I want to install py-setuptools, but that package is built against 2.5.

I was curious as to what the Makefile for py-setuptools looks like, to see if it mentioned anything about Python 2.5 as a dependency. I did not find anything version-dependent.

I typed make install in /usr/ports/devel/py-setuptools on a whim, and it blew up because of failed missing Python 2.5 dependency. That is expected.

My question is, How do I modify the Makefile to build against Python 2.6 ?

I came across this in the man pages, but I am still clueless how to specify what version to build against. Also, I don't see anything that actually installs the egg.

Try removing the MODULES= lang/python line near the bottom of the Makefile.

  • Just curious, is it ok to modify a Makefile in the ports tree? Is that behavior frowned upon?

  • You might want to make a quick backup copy, but yes. The worst it's going to do is not work, which is what the backup copy is for. Or you can always just DL a new copy from CVS.
