Skip Montanaro 56d8301809 Merged Misc/AtheOS-NOTES into the platform-specific section. Rewrote the 
bsddb module build note to reflect the inclusion of bsddb3 and the demotion
of the old bsddb module.
 2003-01-04 04:05:51 +00:00

Skip Montanaro 59a7555810 update info about binutils 2.13 breakage on Solaris. 2003-01-03 16:17:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f122688b3f Various updates to the version number, on the eve of the 2.3a1 release. 2002-12-31 01:50:07 +00:00

Skip Montanaro 3a7ad5c584 delete reference to building on Minix, which will be unsupported in 2.3 2002-11-12 16:53:36 +00:00
Fred Drake 146f61d4ac Update config.h to pyconfig.h. 2002-11-04 20:49:45 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 6e75364cbe I'd forgotten that tcsh was the default for 10.1, but SF's 10.1 system 
uses bash and so does my 10.2 system.  "limit stacksize 2048" is the
right invocation for tcsh/csh.
 2002-10-14 18:15:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 6a8557da36 There was a typo in the MacOSX section regarding the stacksize issue. 
There's no limit command near as I can tell.  Should be the bash
builtin ulimit command.
 2002-10-14 18:04:39 +00:00

  Mac/OSX/README.
 2002-08-04 21:19:55 +00:00

Michael W. Hudson 33876f514a Patch: 
[ 561724 ] README additions for Cray T3E

Lightly edited by me.
 2002-07-31 09:55:25 +00:00

Michael W. Hudson be6e0f4f30 Random tweaks & updates. 2002-06-23 16:29:36 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 57454e57f8 This introduces stricter library/header file checking for the Berkeley DB 
library.  Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's
crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other.  Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.
Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of
the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering.  It can be enabled by
uncommenting a few lines in setup.py.  Closes patch 553108.
 2002-06-14 20:30:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 59518b04d5 Fix typo: ptread --> pthread

Guido van Rossum 4e1dd7d63b Add warning about the HP PA-RISC 2.0 C compiler's optimizer. 2002-04-23 13:06:07 +00:00
Jack Jansen 7b8c7546eb Mass checkin of universal newline support. 
Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n
as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'.
Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.

See PEP278 for details.
