My early contributions to https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan were focused towards getting a single-file Python executable. I wanted my Python scripts to run on both Windows and L…

most likely before v2 as well. The original post is from July 2021, which is a bit after Cosmopolitan Libc's v1 IIRC.

My 4-core computer's probably building Cosmopolitan Libc in the background + the Python binary is 2.7 unoptimized. This blog post is originally from 2021.

I've tried nuitka before, and a recent question that occurred to me was: does nuitka have an option to output just C files? Something like: python -m nuitka example.py --no-compile…

Hey, this is my post from 2021, when I was testing Python2.7 and Python3.6 with Cosmopolitan Libc on an old 4-thread Haswell. It's now a lot easier to build Python (and gcc, gnu co…

> new methods of communication with the compiler have been established. From what I understand, this appears to a be separate binary from GCC/Clang that does static analysis and ou…

What packages do you use in your app? If you're not using too many C extensions, it may be possible to build your app with Cosmopolitan.

Try it out! We got Lua/LuaJIT, Python, PHP, and Rust building (the latter two are not fully automatic yet), so Ruby might be possible even now.

https://github.com/ahgamut/rust-ape-example My above repo contains example with the Rust standard library that build as fat executables with Cosmopolitan Libc. I also got ripgrep t…

Yes, so pip works because the Python APE has OpenSSL built-in. pip install requires modifying the APE, so I end up installing pure-Python libraries as follows: mkdir Lib ./python -…

The "/zip/" folder refers to the ZIP store inside the actually portable executable -- you can run `unzip -vl ./python` to see what's inside. Also, to add new pure-python packages, …

Thank you Gregory for writing this post. There have been a bunch of announcements about "setup.py has been deprecated", but few have clearly outlined how to move away from setup.py…

One of the comments in the OP: I believe the problem is that bridge in the US (not true in some other countries) lacks a "critical mass" of 20 and 30 somethings. I like to play bri…

"Python 4, but not really", because we want to squeeze out more multithreading performance and be cool again. Some questions from reading the OP: - How much does performance improv…

I had tried to build a bunch of different codebases (git, bash, gcc, curl etc.) before trying busybox, and I'd never seen code like that before. Plus that error came alongside a co…

New constants do make compilation a lot easier, but my personal opinion is that the overhead to convert to/from the old constants during runtime is too much. Look at the list of co…

Yeah I found out I got banned when attempting to comment about this blog post. I rarely comment on online forums anyway, because I find I don't know enough to comment about most to…

Right now I use the gcc, git, vim, and ninja APE binaries on my local system for daily work, and so far I have seen no visible regressions. I agree with you though -- an extensive …

Reading the GCC source code was fun and educational, and I'd love to find out if this could patch make it into GCC. Haven't discussed it with any of the GCC developers yet. In the …

I haven't used Nim much, but I remember a repo on Github had setup a build script for compiling Nim with Cosmopolitan Libc. https://github.com/Yardanico/cosmonim This gcc patch mak…

I did that last year :) https://github.com/ahgamut/rust-ape-example Also got ripgrep to work: https://github.com/ahgamut/ripgrep/tree/cosmopolitan Might need to update the build sc…

I added a comment mentioning this, but it hasn't changed yet. I expect it will change soon. Perhaps I can ping @dang from here?

SIGILL is for "illegal instruction", according to https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal.7.html I too thought it was a typo when I caused it to occur while building BLIS, but…
