I was building Python (3.4 dev version) from source as a framework on OS X 10.8. I'm a relative newbie to Mac OS X internals and couldn't figure out why the OS X framework headers caused these errors. Can someone please give me some pointers?
I use the latest version of GNU gcc on my mac instead of the Apple supplied LLVM compiler. Perhaps, that's causing a compatibility problem.
gcc -Wno-unused-result -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -o FileSettings.o -c ./FileSettings.m
