Re: Problems in building 1.2.2 on Mac OS 10.5

[M Hess]

I'm running 10.5.6 on a PowerBook G4 (ppc obviously), and I was able to get things running without a hitch by combining parts from a couple of the aforementioned strategies:

1. Comment out those infamous lines 37-39 in _mysql.c

2. Then, also comment out the duplicate uint line 92 in /usr/include/sys/types.h

3. (Optional) Update the __init__.py and converters.py files (in MySQLdb subdir) for 'sets' module deprecation. This is mainly so you don't get those annoying "deprecated module" messages. See diffs at end of the post.

4. easy_install in source dir

5. Make sure you change back the types.h file when you're done (i'm not exactly what this header file does in the grand scheme of things; hence the reverting).

Hopefully that will work for more people than just me...

Here are the diffs:


__init__.py

(the code's a little clumsy here because there's no abstract BaseSet parent class for the set and frozenset types)

34,35c34
< from sets import ImmutableSet
< class DBAPISet(ImmutableSet):
---
> class DBAPISet(frozenset):
41,42c40
< from sets import BaseSet
< if isinstance(other, BaseSet):
---
> if isinstance(other, set) or isinstance(other, frozenset):

< from sets import BaseSet
< if isinstance(other, BaseSet):

> if isinstance(other, set) or isinstance(other, frozenset):


converters.py
