Microsoft Visual C++ Version 4.0 (32-bit Windows)
=================================================
The project files are vc40.mdp, vc40.ncb and vc40.mak. They
will NOT work from this PC directory. To use them, first copy
them to the Python distribution directory with this command:
copy vc40.* ..
You may then want to remove them from here to prevent confusion.
The distributed Makefile is vc40.mak. This file is distributed with
CRLF line separators, otherwise Developer Studio won't like it. It
will NOT work from this PC directory. To use it, first copy it to the
Python distribution directory, e.g. with this command:
copy vc40.mak ..
To convert the Makefile into a project file, start Developer Studio,
choose Open Workspace, change the file name pattern to *.mak, find and
select the file vc40.mak, and click OK. Developer Studio will create
additional project files vc40.ncb and vc40.mdp when you use the
project. The project contains three targets, which should be built in
this order:
Once the project files are located in the directory just above
this one, start VC++ and read in the project. The targets are built
in the subdirectories vc40_*.
python14 The Python core as a DLL, named python14.dll.
vc40_dll The Python core built as an NT DLL.
python The Python main program, named python.exe. This should
work as a console program under Windows 95 or NT, as well
as under Windows 3.1(1) when using win32s. It uses
python14.dll.
vc40_nt A Windows NT and 95 Python QuickWin (console-mode)
version of Python including sockets. It is
self-contained, and does not require any DLL's.
_tkinter The optional _tkinter extension, _tkinter.dll; see below.
ALl end products of the compilation are placed in the subdirectory
vc40 (which Developer Studio creates); object files are placed in
vc40/tmp. There are no separate Release and Debug project variants.
Note that the python and _tkinter projects require that the
python14.lib file exists in the vc40 subdirectory before they can be
built.
*** How to build the _tkinter extension ***
This assumes that you have installed the Tcl/Tk binary distribution
for Windows 95/NT with version numbers 7.5p1/4.1p1, in the default
installation location (C:\tcl). (Ftp to ftp.sunlabs.com in /pub/tcl,
file win41p1.exe.) You must also have fetched and unpacked the zip
file vclibs41.zip which contains the files tcl75.lib and tk41.lib, and
placed those files in C:\tcl\bin. In order to use _tkinter, the
Tkinter.py module must be on PYTHONPATH. It is found in the
Lib\tkinter subdirectory.
