RE: [pygame] PyGame on PS2

["Gianluca Cancelmi" <Gianluca@crawfish.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm sorry if this could be offtopic, but I'm doing this so I can distribute pygame for ps2.

I've recompiled python 2.1 for playstation 2 and I'm trying to create an RPM.

I create the rpm with "python setup.py bdist_rpm"

First I had a problem with a filename but I've fixed that. Now I get this weird message (see output.txt in attach.).

The ps2 linux distributions is very similar to redhat. The kernel is 2.2 and gcc 2.95. Python 2.1 works ok. I only have problems when I try to create the rpm.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Gianluca

Ps2 is very good at floating point stuff. I think the problem might be the compiler.
This is from Numeric readme and sgi and ps2 have similar cpu.

===> Silicon Graphics bug:
    Due to a bug in the SGI compiler's handling of complex
    variables, you must build your *python* without optimization
    on a certain file. Consult the Python installation instructions
    for the details.

With a monitor I should be able to get higher resolutions.

I haven't touched the Setup file. I'm having problems with python 2.1 not pygame.
I'm looking at the python mailing list to see if I can find something.

Cheers,
