Hello,

i'm tring to get Python on my uClinux(Blackfin). I tried to find the binary in some repository but i didn't found python....so i choose to compile by myself the Python packages with toolchian but without any results, even patching it (Python's configure really don't like the cross compling).

Do you have any hints? does it exists some wide repository for uClinux's ipkg (bigger then "http://rowetel.com/ucasterisk/ipkg")?

Thanks in advance

Emanuele

if you want prebuilt binaries / ipkg support, you should talk to the ucasterisk guys. this forum does not cover that project.

python is already integrated into the uClinux distribution and builds from source just fine

you can see how we build it in the Makefile, or just use uclinux-dist to do the building. trying to build it yourself by hand isnt really supported (nor does it even make sense).

In my uClinux python it's NOT installed by default.

The question is: how can i get Python binary?

no one said python is installed by default. you have to select it in the menuconfig system like any other package if you want it installed.
