It requires Microsoft Visual C++ 6.x or 5.x and Platform -SDK February 2003 Edition (Core SDK). -(For other Windows platforms and compilers, see ../readme.txt.) - -All you need to do is open the workspace "pcbuild.dsw" in MSVC++, select -the Debug or Release setting (using Build -> Set Active Configuration...), -and build the projects. - -The proper order to build subprojects: - -1) pythoncore (this builds the main Python DLL and library files, - python33.{dll, lib} in Release mode) - -2) python (this builds the main Python executable, - python.exe in Release mode) - -3) the other subprojects, as desired or needed (note: you probably don't - want to build most of the other subprojects, unless you're building an - entire Python distribution from scratch, or specifically making changes - to the subsystems they implement; see SUBPROJECTS below) - -When using the Debug setting, the output files have a _d added to -their name: python33_d.dll, python_d.exe, pyexpat_d.pyd, and so on. - -SUBPROJECTS ------------ -These subprojects should build out of the box. Subprojects other than the -main ones (pythoncore, python, pythonw) generally build a DLL (renamed to -.pyd) from a specific module so that users don't have to load the code -supporting that module unless they import the module. - -pythoncore - .dll and .lib -python - .exe -pythonw - pythonw.exe, a variant of python.exe that doesn't pop up a DOS box -_msi - _msi.c. You need to install Windows Installer SDK to build this module. -_socket - socketmodule.c -_testcapi - tests of the Python C API, run via Lib/test/test_capi.py, and - implemented by module Modules/_testcapimodule.c -pyexpat - Python wrapper for accelerated XML parsing, which incorporates stable - code from the Expat project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ -select - selectmodule.c -unicodedata - large tables of Unicode data -winsound - play sounds (typically .wav files) under Windows - -The following subprojects will generally NOT build out of the box. They -wrap code Python doesn't control, and you'll need to download the base -packages first and unpack them into siblings of PCbuilds's parent -directory; for example, if your PCbuild is .......\dist\src\PCbuild\, -unpack into new subdirectories of dist\. - -_tkinter - Python wrapper for the Tk windowing system. Requires building - Tcl/Tk first. Following are instructions for Tcl/Tk 8.5.2. - - Get source - ---------- - In the dist directory, run - svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/tcl-8.5.2.1 tcl8.5.2 - svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/tk-8.5.2.0 tk8.5.2 - svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/tix-8.4.3.1 tix8.4.3 - - Debug Build - ----------- - To build debug version, add DEBUG=1 to all nmake call bellow. - - Build Tcl first (done here w/ MSVC 6 on Win2K) - --------------- - If your environment doesn't have struct _stat64, you need to apply - tcl852.patch in this directory to dist\tcl8.5.2\generic\tcl.h. - - cd dist\tcl8.5.2\win - run vcvars32.bat - nmake -f makefile.vc - nmake -f makefile.vc INSTALLDIR=..\..\tcltk install - - XXX Should we compile with OPTS=threads? - - Optional: run tests, via - nmake -f makefile.vc test - - all.tcl: Total 24242 Passed 23358 Skipped 877 Failed 7 - Sourced 137 Test Files. - Files with failing tests: exec.test http.test io.test main.test string.test stri - ngObj.test - - Build Tk - -------- - cd dist\tk8.5.2\win - nmake -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=..\..\tcl8.5.2 - nmake -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=..\..\tcl8.5.2 INSTALLDIR=..\..\tcltk install - - XXX Should we compile with OPTS=threads? - - XXX I have no idea whether "nmake -f makefile.vc test" passed or - XXX failed.

Homepage - http://www.bzip.org/ - Download the source from the python.org copy into the dist - directory: - - svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/bzip2-1.0.6 - - And requires building bz2 first. - - cd dist\bzip2-1.0.6 - nmake -f makefile.msc - - All of this managed to build bzip2-1.0.6\libbz2.lib, which the Python - project links in. - - -_sqlite3 - Python wrapper for SQLite library. - - Get the source code through - - svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/sqlite-source-3.3.4 - - To use the extension module in a Python build tree, copy sqlite3.dll into - the PC/VC6 folder. - - -_ssl - Python wrapper for the secure sockets library. - - Get the latest source code for OpenSSL from - http://www.openssl.org - - You (probably) don't want the "engine" code. For example, don't get - openssl-engine-0.9.6g.tar.gz - - Unpack into the "dist" directory, retaining the folder name from - the archive - for example, the latest stable OpenSSL will install as - dist/openssl-1.0.1e - - You need to use version 1.0.1e of OpenSSL. - - You can install the NASM assembler from - http://www.nasm.us/ - for x86 builds. Put nasmw.exe anywhere in your PATH. - Note: recent releases of nasm only have nasm.exe. Just rename it to - nasmw.exe. - - You can also install ActivePerl from - http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ - if you like to use the official sources instead of the files from - python's subversion repository. The svn version contains pre-build - makefiles and assembly files. - - The MSVC project simply invokes PC/VC6/build_ssl.py to perform - the build. This Python script locates and builds your OpenSSL - installation, then invokes a simple makefile to build the final .pyd. - - build_ssl.py attempts to catch the most common errors (such as not - being able to find OpenSSL sources, or not being able to find a Perl - that works with OpenSSL) and give a reasonable error message. - If you have a problem that doesn't seem to be handled correctly - (eg, you know you have ActivePerl but we can't find it), please take - a peek at build_ssl.py and suggest patches. Note that build_ssl.py - should be able to be run directly from the command-line. - - build_ssl.py/MSVC isn't clever enough to clean OpenSSL - you must do - this by hand. - - -YOUR OWN EXTENSION DLLs ------------------------ -If you want to create your own extension module DLL, there's an example -with easy-to-follow instructions in ../PC/example/; read the file -readme.txt there first. |
