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.

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.

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.

Michael W. Hudson 494cdb6d78 Add 2002 to PSF copyrights.

Jack Jansen 4c398fde5c Mac OS X build instructions talked about --without-toolbox-glue, but

CNRI copyright should be updated to include 2001.
