[okl4-developer] Unable to find package: libs/gstreamerwhen build example=posix

[Frank Kaiser]

Hello, Geoffrey

I don't think that the observed error is a problem of Python2.5, but is
a problem of the statement in line 2959: infact there is the local
variable 'x' referenced w/o having been assigned. The difference between
Python2.5 and Python2.4 seems to be that Python2.4 does not parse the
'raise UserError' statement as long as the preceding 'if' condition
(line 2958) is not true, and therefore does not see the error. The
statement in question is a copy of the one in line 2964, but from the
content of the 'if' statement before, which is identical to the one in
line 2952, I derive that a copy of the 'raise UserError' statement at
line 2953 should be placed at line 2959.
When you newly install one of the main LINUX distributions on a
computer, you get Python2.5 by default, and there are applications
requiring that version. I see it as a shortcoming that you have to
install Python2.4 additionally, just because the OKL4 build system is
not fit for the actual Python version.

Frank
