The subdirectory MPW contains a README.MPW file, a buildall script and
several Makefiles (in respective subdirectories), kindly contributed
by Richard Walker of Island Software. Move these files to the
corresponding locations relative to the Python root directory, and run
the buildall script. The README.MPW file contains more instructions
and caveats (I've added some remarks of my own at the end). I haven't
tried building STDWIN with MPW recently (there is MPW specific code
all over the STDWIN source but it is for a much older version of the
compiler and library). The MPW and THINK C ports share all source
files, including config.c and config.h -- all differentiation is done
based on #ifdef THINK_C or #ifdef MPW (#ifdef macintosh is used for
code that should be seen by all Mac compilers).

the Python root directory (where Mac-Makefile should become Makefile
in the Mac subdirectory, etc.), and run the buildall script. The

or #ifdef MPW (#ifdef macintosh is used for code that should be seen

- The dynload subdirectory contains an attempt to create dynamically
loadable modules from CODE segments. This was not very successful
due to the restrictions on CODE segments (no global variables, no
calls to external functions). Maybe Apple's new shared library
manager will be a better starting point.
- I haven't tried building STDWIN with MPW recently. There is MPW
specific code all over the STDWIN source but it is for a much older
version of the compiler and library.
