<b>Subject:</b> [Python-Dev] ossaudiodev and linuxaudiodev not built on SLES11SP2 due to change in sys.platform</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently working on porting our Linux tool chains to SuSe Enterprise Linux 11 service pack 2 (SLES11SP2). During this process, we noticed an issue due to a change in the sys.platform string. Previously, the string was “linux2” and
it has now changed to “linux3”. This seems to be due to a change in the kernel version. This causes the ossaudiodev and linuxaudiodev modules to be omitted from the build. I found the relevant code in setup.py:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> if platform == 'linux2':</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> # Linux-specific modules</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> exts.append( Extension('linuxaudiodev', ['linuxaudiodev.c']) )</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> else:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> missing.append('linuxaudiodev')</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> if platform in ('linux2', 'freebsd4', 'freebsd5', 'freebsd6',</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 'freebsd7', 'freebsd8'):</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> exts.append( Extension('ossaudiodev', ['ossaudiodev.c']) )</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> else:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> missing.append('ossaudiodev')</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since neither of these account for “linux3”, they are both omitted from the build. I can simply modify the code to include “linux3” so that these modules are built on the new platform. However, I wanted to check and see whether they are
specifically being omitted for a reason or if the setup file just wasn’t ported and tested against the new platform. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
