[Builder] Problem building gobject-introspection-1.42.0/2/3



Hi,
    I am trying to find the correct list or forum to get some help in building;
        gobject-introspection-1.42.0.
    Hope this is the right list. (Used to belong to a forum; but that no longer
seems to be around.
    Anyway!
    I would really appreciate some help in building all the gnome
software needed by firefox.

ENVIRONMENT:
    IBM pSeries System (Power 4 & 6 microprocessor)
            O/S AIX 5.3 and 7.1
            Using thing in the AIX Linux Toolkit.  More that 95% of the software
            installed in the /opt/freeware directory comes from Michael Perzl's
            own Linux Toolkit archive.  While his packages are more up  to date
            than IBM's they do not contain the version that I need nor do they
           contain most of the other GNOME packages needed by firefox.
            Putting all new firefox required software and firefox, thunderbird and seamonkey
            into a new directory called /opt/alinux.
            I think I have successfully built:
                glib-2.42.1
                gdk-pixbuf-2.30.8
                atk-2.14.0 (Think this is ok!)
            Tried to build:
                Python-3.4.2 (Seemed to compile OK; but test/check had 5 errors so
                 I did not install it.  Would have tried; but there did not seem to be
                 a way to remove the installation if it did not work.)
            Currently using: (installed in /opt/freeware)
                python-2.6.8-1

PROBLEM:
    During the gmake of gobject-introspection-1.42.0/2/3 I got the following
message before the gmake stopped.

  CCLD     libgirepository-internals.la

  File "/opt/freeware/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 416, in <module>
    import fcntl
ImportError: No module named fcntl

    Not sure what is going on.
    In the configure run I know that configure found fcntl and its header files.
    I checked the libglib-2.0.a and found fcntl as a member of the libglib-2.0.so.0
(that is; there seems to be an entry for fcntl in the symbol table).
    I checked the gobject-introspection-1.42.0/2/3 build directory and
the copy of
libglib-2.0.so.0 that is present is identical to the one that is in the
/opt/alinux/lib/libglib-2.0.a.
    I would really appreciate some help!

Sincerely,
Dwight

P.S.
    I am no longer a software developer.... That ended about 20 years ago.
    I just downloaded these packages and ran configure and gmake and hoped
that everything would work.  I know a little C; but no C++ and I do not know
phyton or perl or etc......  I can probably figure out simple problems; but
anything else is beyond me.  (My usual solution is to find another version
of the package and try to compile that one and hope it would work.)
    Would not be doing this at all if IBM and mozilla.org had not stop
creating firefox, thunderbird and seamonkey for my system.

    Since my old version of firefox can no longer access many sites
and my ISP email server does not support firefox I have to build
a new version.

    Bull in France used to build gnome for AIX; but stop doing that
at least 5 years ago.  Now no one that I know of is building gnome
for AIX.
