copied!<p>Assuming that you have all the dependencies installed (on Ubuntu that would be bunch of things like <code>sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev</code> and various other -dev packages, then this is how I build Python.</p> <pre><code>tar zxvf Python-2.7.1.tgz cd Python-2.7.1 # 64 bit self-contained build in /opt export TARG=/opt/python272 export CC="gcc -m64" export LDFLAGS='-Wl,-rpath,\$${ORIGIN}/../lib -Wl,-rpath-link,\$${ORIGIN}/../lib -Wl,--enable-new-dtags' ./configure --prefix=$TARG --with-dbmliborder=bdb:gdbm --enable-shared --enable-ipv6 make make install </code></pre> <p>The only modules that don't build during make are:</p> <pre><code>_tkinter - I don't do GUI apps and would use wxWindows if I did bsddb185 - horribly obsolete version of bdb dl - deprecated in 2.6 imageop - deprecated in 2.6 sunaudiodev - obsolete interface to some SparcStation device I think </code></pre> <p>Next I collect any .so files that are not already in the Python install directories and copy them over:</p> <pre><code># collect binary libraries ##REDO THIS IF YOU ADD ANY ADDITIONAL MODULES## cd /opt/python272 find . -name '*.so' | sed 's/^/ldd -v /' >elffiles echo "ldd -v bin/python" >>elffiles chmod +x elffiles ./elffiles | sed 's/.*=> //;s/ .*//;/:$/d;s/^ *//' | sort -u | sed 's/.*/cp -L & lib/' >lddinfo # mkdir lib chmod +x lddinfo ./lddinfo </code></pre> <p>And then add setuptools for good measure</p> <pre><code>#set the path export PATH=/opt/python272/bin:$PATH #install setuptools ./setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg </code></pre> <p>At this point I can make a tarball of /opt/python272 and run it on any 64-bit Linux distro, even a stripped down one that has none of the dependencies installed, or a older distro that has old obsolete versions of the dependencies.</p> <p>I also get <code>pip</code> installed but at this point there is a gap in my notes due to some failed struggles with virtualenv. Basically virtualenv does not support this scenario. Presumably I did <code>easy_install pip</code> and then:</p> <pre><code>export LD_RUN_PATH=\$${ORIGIN}/../lib pip install cython pip install {a whole bunch of other libraries that I expect to use} </code></pre> <p>After I'm done installing modules, I go back and rerun the commands to collect .so files, and make a new tarball. There were a couple of packages where I had to muck around with <code>LDFLAGS</code> to get them to install correctly, and I haven't done enough thorough testing yet, but so far it works and I'm using this Python build to run production applications on machines that don't have all the support libraries preinstalled.</p>
