Sockets are not included. + IBM VisualAge C/C++ for OS/2 ============================ -To build Python for OS/2, change into ./os2vacpp and issue an -'NMAKE' command. This will build a PyCore15.dll containing the -set of Python modules listed in config.c and a small Python.exe -to start the interpreter. - -During the build process you will see a couple of harmless warnings: - - From the C Compiler, "No function prototype given for XXX", which - comes from the use of K&R parameters within Python for portability. - - From the ILIB librarian, "Module Not Found (XXX)", which comes - from its attempt to perform the (-+) operation, which removes and - then adds a .OBJ to the library. The first time a build is done, - it obviously cannot remove what is not yet built. - -This build includes support for most Python functionality as well -as TCP/IP sockets. It omits the Posix ability to 'fork' a process -but supports threads using OS/2 native capabilities. I have tried -to support everything possible, even popen() to run a child process -and communicate with it via a pipe. - -With respect to the environment variables for Python, I use the -following setup: - - Set PYTHONHOME=E:\Tau\Projects\Python - Set PYTHONPATH=.;E:\Tau\Projects\Python\Lib; \ - E:\Tau\Projects\Python\Lib\plat-win - -If you have questions or problems specifically with the VAC++ port -of Python, please contact me at: - - Jeff Rush . - -I support no other platform but OS/2 (and eventually AmigaDOS). - +See os2vacpp/readme.txt. This platform is supported by Jeff Rush.
