This directory is used to build Python for Win32 platforms,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. Windows 95, 98 and NT. It requires Microsoft Visual C++ 5.x.
|
|
|
|
|
(For other Windows platforms and compilers, see ../PC/readme.txt.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike previous versions, there's no longer a need to copy the project
|
|
|
|
|
files from the PC/vc5x subdirectory to the PCbuild directory -- they
|
|
|
|
|
come in PCbuild.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All you need to do is open the workspace "pcbuild.dsw" in MSVC++,
|
|
|
|
|
select the Debug or Release setting (using Set Active
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration... in the Build menu), and build the projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The proper order to build is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) python15 (this builds python15.dll and python15.lib)
|
|
|
|
|
2) python (this builds python.exe)
|
|
|
|
|
3) the other subprojects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some subprojects require that you have distributions of other
|
|
|
|
|
software: Tcl/Tk, bsddb and zlib. If you don't have these, you can't
|
|
|
|
|
build the corresponding extensions. If you do have them, you may have
|
|
|
|
|
to change the project settings to point to the right include files,
|
|
|
|
|
libraries etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using the Debug setting, the output files have a _d added to
|
|
|
|
|
their name: python15_d.dll, python_d.exe, parser_d.pyd, and so on.
