Misc/AtheOS-NOTES

-Python for AtheOS
-
-
-Before building:
-
-    Make sure you have shared versions of the libraries you want to use
-    with Python. You will have to compile them yourself, or download
-    precompiled packages.
-
-    Recommended libraries:
-
-	ncurses-4.2
-    	readline-4.2a
-    	zlib-1.1.4
-
-Build:
-
-    $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/python
-    $ make
-
-    Python is always built as a shared library, otherwise dynamic loading
-    would not work.
-
-Testing:
-
-    $ make test
-
-Install:
-
-    # make install
-    # pkgmanager -a /usr/python
-
-
-AtheOS issues:
-
-    - large file support: due to a stdio bug in glibc/libio, access to
-        large files may not work correctly.
-        fseeko() tries to seek to a negative offset.
-        ftello() returns a negative offset, it looks like a 32->64bit
-        sign-extension issue.
-        The lowlevel functions (open, lseek, etc) are OK.
-    - sockets: AF_UNIX is defined in the C library and in Python, but
-       not implemented in the system.
-    - select: poll is available in the C library, but does not work
-      (It does not return POLLNVAL for bad fds and hangs).
-    - posix: statvfs and fstatvfs always return ENOSYS.
-    - 
-    - disabled modules:
-        - mmap: not yet implemented in AtheOS
-	- nis: broken (on an unconfigured system yp_get_default_domain()
-            returns junk instead of error)
-	- dl: dynamic loading doesn't work via dlopen()
-	- resource: getrimit and setrlimit are not yet implemented
-
-    - if you are getting segmentation faults, you probably are low on memory.
-        AtheOS doesn't handle very well an out-of-memory condition and
-        simply SEGVs the process.
-
-Tested on:
-
-    AtheOS-0.3.7
-    gcc-2.95
-    binutils-2.10
-    make-3.78
