Trying to build Python 3.12 on Termux

[craigmj]

Hi,
I'm trying to build Python 3.12 on Termux. I've downloaded the sources from python.org, run ./configure but on make I get an error:

Python/fileutils.c:2912:9: error: call to undeclared function 'close_range'; ISO C99 and later do not
      support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
 2912 |     if (close_range(first, last, 0) == 0) {

I'm working on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10, so the ANDROID_API_LEVEL is 36, but pyconfig.h sets the level to 30, but even changing that in pyconfig.h doesn't help.

Is anyone able to shed some light on how I can go about building python (and other systems, which are also giving me trouble) on Termux?

Best,
Craig

what you posted doesn't seem to look like an error but rather it looks like a warning, the real error might be included in earlier lines, you might what to <build command> | output.log then post the output.log here.

nevertheless building py3.12 from scratch on termux sounds like pain, i'd just install a deb build from archive but to your luck for some reason only 3.11 and 3.13 seems to be archived: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://packages.termux.dev/apt/termux-main/pool/main/p/python/python_3.1*
