Patches for python3 on SerenityOS

0001-Enforce-UTF-8-as-the-locale-encoding.patch

Enforce UTF-8 as the locale encoding

By defining _Py_FORCE_UTF8_LOCALE as some other platforms already do, we can enforce UTF-8 as the encoding.

0002-Tweak-configure-and-configure.ac.patch

Tweak configure and configure.ac

As usual, make the configure script recognize Serenity. Also set MACHDEP (which is used for sys.platform) to a version-less serenityos, even when not cross-compiling.

0003-Include-sys-uio.h-in-socketmodule.c.patch

Include sys/uio.h in socketmodule.c

This is to ensure that struct iovec is defined, which is required by the socket module.

0004-Tweak-setup.py.patch

Tweak setup.py

Make some tweaks to Python's setup.py:

• Add /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include to the system lib and include dirs respectively, relative to the sysroot when crosscompiling. These are by default only included when not crosscompiling for some reason.
• Add /usr/local/include/ncurses to the curses include paths so it can build the _curses module. This is by default included for a bunch of extensions, but not _curses.

0005-Tweak-setup.py-sysroot-detection.patch

Tweak setup.py sysroot detection

When crosscompiling, the Python installer expects the C compiler to be invoked with a --sysroot command line option, which then is used to find additional subdirectories containing headers and libraries.

Because there is no such option present, this is a workaround to use the environment variable SERENITY_INSTALL_ROOT as a fake --sysroot in the detection code.

0006-Workaround-for-unsupported-socket-option.patch

Workaround for unsupported socket option

This is a workaround for ignoring the result of setsockopt call when given TCP_NODELAY as an argument. This TCP socket option is used in many applications (like pip and requests) for optimization purposes. For now, it can be safely ignored until it's supported in the kernel.

0007-Set-name-of-shared-libpython.patch

Set name of shared libpython
