help: how to compile pypy on solaris 11

[flaajimi]

Hello,

Can anyone help me compile pypy on solaris 11 ?

Thank you :)

You can try to adapt the directions at https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/build.html to your system. Let us know if there are failures.

When I try to follow the steps I get

root@XXXXXXXX:/home/XXXXXXXXXXXX/pypy-main/pypy/goal# python ../../rpython/bin/rpython --cc=gcc --opt=2
File "/home/XXXXXXXXXXXX/pypy-main/pypy/goal/../../rpython/bin/rpython", line 17
print doc
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(doc)?

You must use python2 as a host for compilation. I would suggest using the JIT, since otherwise PyPy will be slow:

python2 ../../rpython/bin/rpython -Ojit ...

In my server i have : python3, python3.11, python3.7, python3.9

i do not have : python2

It's solaris 11 which is not compatible with python 2

You will have to build python2 from source, and then use that to build PyPy.

Thank you very much, I'll look at that
