Failure to build with the bundled library on older kernel

mariosv commented 10 years ago

pyzmq version: 14.0.1 python version: Python-2.7.6

Failed to build pyzmq on Centos4 (kernel: 2.6.9) and Centos5 (kernel: 2.6.18) linux machines.

Build failed with the following message:

bundled/zeromq/src/signaler.cpp:276: error: ‘eventfd’ was not declared in this scope

This error is similar to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-515

The problem seems to be that eventfd is not supported by kernel version prior to 2.6.22.

I tried to build it on Centos6 (kernel: 2.6.32) with success.

This probably just proves that the bundled version is not suitable for all linux setups (the distributed platform.hpp can not work on any linux box)

minrk commented 10 years ago

Right, and there's no real hope of it working on all linux systems. Under all circumstances, I recommend installing libzmq on its own if at all possible (hence the big warning and long wait before pyzmq tries to compile libzmq as an Extension). If there is some reason this is not an option and pyzmq fails to build libzmq, then a final option is to run setup.py fetch_libzmq, which will fetch libzmq source, and then able to regenerate platform.hpp on your system (assuming you have all the necessary build dependencies of libzmq).

mariosv commented 10 years ago

Thanks for you quick response. I' closing the issue.

minrk commented 10 years ago

What would be informative: Can you run ./configure in a libzmq checkout, and and share the platform.hpp result?

Building the bundled binaries without LIBSODIUM, EVENTFD and CLOEXEC may lead to a more generic setup.
