From c6982f7efc1c70fe2d6160a87ee44d871ac85ab0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joseph Myers Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2018 15:28:05 +0000 Subject: Patch to require Python 3.4 or later to build glibc. This patch makes Python 3.4 or later a required tool for building glibc, so allowing changes of awk, perl etc. code used in the build and test to Python code without any such changes needing makefile conditionals or to handle older Python versions. This patch makes the configure test for Python check the version and give an error if Python is missing or too old, and removes makefile conditionals that are no longer needed. It does not itself convert any code from another language to Python, and does not remove any compatibility with older Python versions from existing scripts. Tested for x86_64. * configure.ac (PYTHON_PROG): Use AC_CHECK_PROG_VER. Set critic_missing for versions before 3.4. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document requirement for Python to build glibc. * INSTALL: Regenerated. * Rules [PYTHON]: Make code unconditional. * benchtests/Makefile [PYTHON]: Likewise. * conform/Makefile [PYTHON]: Likewise. * manual/Makefile [PYTHON]: Likewise. * math/Makefile [PYTHON]: Likewise. --- benchtests/Makefile | 7 ------- 1 file changed, 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'benchtests') diff --git a/benchtests/Makefile b/benchtests/Makefile index 45aeb5febe..d558db475c 100644 --- a/benchtests/Makefile +++ b/benchtests/Makefile @@ -180,14 +180,7 @@ $(error Invalid BENCHSET value) endif endif -# Define the bench target only if the target has a usable python installation. -ifdef PYTHON bench: bench-build bench-set bench-func bench-malloc -else -bench: - @echo "The bench target needs python to run." - @exit 1 -endif # Target to only build the benchmark without running it.
