Tim Peters 0e93309eb5 The native bz2 tests worked fine for me under WinXP Pro + VC7.1, so
removed the comment saying they don't work, and changed the build step
to run them.  If they're failing for someone else, please give details
about what failed.

Tim Peters 011de6cc96 Record Tcl and Tk test results for WinXP Pro. 2004-04-11 17:29:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d54357d4e2 Tweaked after following all these instructions.
Removed Win9x notes (since the .NET compiler requires Win2K or XP anyway).

Thomas Heller 46a007ee95 Build the bzip2.lib as a custom pre-link step in MSVC. 2003-08-20 18:27:36 +00:00
Tim Peters 8f6c7c5d5f Some Windows changes preparing for 2.3b2. 2003-06-27 15:49:35 +00:00
Tim Peters faa697a5c9 2.3b2 on Windows will ship with Tcl/Tk 8.4.3. Note: this still didn't
fix the hangs on Win98SE when starting IDLE via "python" from a DOS box,
but did appear to make them harder to provoke.  I closed that bug report
as being hopeless (and if someone wants to open it again, don't dare
assign it to me again <0.1 wink>).

Tim Peters 0064026668 Bump the Windows build to use Sleepycat's 4.1.25.NC release (the
latest bsddb release without strong cryptography).

Raymond Hettinger 4647f5090a Revert the last change. Tim was faster and chose a different route. 2002-12-30 00:40:40 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger a6af477820 Document the _randommodule project for the Windows build. 2002-12-30 00:03:27 +00:00
Tim Peters 2a799bf77a datetime escapes the sandbox. The Windows build is all set. I leave it
to others to argue about how to build it on other platforms (on Windows
it's in its own DLL).
2002-12-16 20:18:38 +00:00
Tim Peters 21d77f5e9c Added _ssl.lib to the installer too. Restored alphabetical order of
DLL and lib sections.
2002-12-04 04:00:12 +00:00
Tim Peters 6ee68d20b7 Explain what's probably a problem unique to Win9x in building _ssl. 2002-12-04 03:16:37 +00:00
Tim Peters e8bcb25fbd Clarify _ssl instructions. 2002-12-04 02:39:52 +00:00
Mark Hammond f229f9f1e7 Add _ssl build process for Windows. 2002-12-03 05:47:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 84c7a3f328 Try linking the static Sleepycat lib into _bsddb.pyd. Hard to say
whether this is a correct thing to do:

+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.

Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.
2002-11-23 18:48:06 +00:00
Tim Peters 19cf4ee69d More bsddb-on-Windows fiddling:
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
  still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.
2002-11-23 03:49:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 78e35f9311 Move Windows Python away from bsddb 1.85 and toward Sleepycat's latest.
The bsddb subproject is gone.
The _bsddb subproject is new.
There are problems here, but I'm out of time to work on this now.  If
anyone can address an XXX comment or two in readme.txt, please do!
2002-11-22 20:00:34 +00:00
Tim Peters a406b58619 Renamed Wise vrbl from _TCLMINOR_ to _TCLDIR_, to remove any script
dependence on the Tcl/Tk version number.  Now you point it at the
Tcl/Tk install you want to ship, and that's what it ships.
2002-11-19 17:38:27 +00:00
Tim Peters 6c629957fd Repaired typos in the Tcl/Tk compilation instructions. Turns out they
work on Win98SE too (yay!).
2002-11-15 18:36:11 +00:00
Tim Peters 077736b96b Windows changes to move from Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 to 8.4.1. I tested this by
running IDLE, and since I'm not a Tcl Guy I'm not sure what else to do.
Up to you!  See XXX comments in PCbuild\readme.txt for cautions.

Also repaired typos in the new bz2-for-Windows instructions.
2002-11-14 23:24:40 +00:00
Tim Peters b0ead4ea4a Start building the bz2 module on Windows.
CAUTION:  The Python test still has many failures, but I'm out of time
for this now (already took much longer than hoped to get this far).
The base bz2 library does pass its own tests (see next).

CAUTION:  People building on Windows have to download and build tne
bz2 compression libraries now.  See PCbuild\readme.txt for complete
instructions.

Tim Peters 3e2d18be3f Removed no-longer-relevant explanation of "alpha" builds. 2002-07-10 17:05:14 +00:00
Tim Peters 6077f643da Move to zlib 1.1.4 on Windows (the new version that squashes the "double
free" glitch).
Bugfix candidate -- I'll backpatch this into 2.2.1 later this week.
2002-03-13 21:51:55 +00:00
Tim Peters b012a15c42 Finish the pyexpat rework for Windows: builders needn't suck down the
Expat installer from SF anymore, and the installer shouldn't install
expat.dll anymore.
2002-02-13 23:56:46 +00:00
Tim Peters faa7f116f2 Move Windows to Expat 1.95.2. CAUTION: Your Windows build won't work
until you download the new expat and install it; see PCbuild\readme.txt.
2001-07-28 07:56:38 +00:00
Tim Peters d66595fe42 Renamed _testXXX to _testcapiXXX. Jack is my hero -- good call! 2001-02-04 03:09:53 +00:00

Tim Peters 9ea17ac595 Patch derived from Trent's 101162: a Python/C API testing framework.
STILL NEEDS UNIX BUILD CHANGES.

Tim Peters 97c9640cc9 Windows: 2.1a1 changes so Python runs again. Note that the python20
subproject is gone, replaced by the new pythoncore subproject.
2001-01-17 23:23:13 +00:00
Tim Peters aff1284ed1 In readme.txt, make what's needed to build the "optional" subprojects
much more explicit.  Also document that we're moving to Tcl/Tk 8.3.2.
Simplify .dsp files by getting rid of useless include paths.
.wse file changed to reflect that my setup is different than Guido's:
if you *build* a Python distro using python20.wse, beware!
2000-08-25 06:52:44 +00:00
Tim Peters f9a4a6eec1 Typo repair. 2000-07-01 20:38:27 +00:00

Tim Peters 610a827b13 Repaired two URLs. 2000-07-01 02:51:23 +00:00
Tim Peters 4b5fb0772e Update for 2.0b1. Also add more text, to be more explicit about
what the dozen+ subprojects are for, which are and aren't
expected to build out of the box, and what else is needed to get
them all to build.  Also explained that Alpha configurations
don't refer to pre-beta, but to the Alpha processor!  That's
baffled me for years <0.7 wink>.
2000-07-01 00:03:43 +00:00
Tim Peters c155f828fa Making a tiny change to figure out what I'm going to screw up
by trying to use CVS under Windows at all ...
2000-06-30 09:04:35 +00:00
