Thank you to the developers who've taken such strides to enable win32 builds from source, this is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I think I'm only one step away from getting it to run, the final mkzopeinstance step doesn't seem to write the runzope.py on my configuration. Particulars: Python 2.2, win32all installed in "C:\Program Files\Python\" Built with: c:\archives\cvs\zope>python inst\configure.py --prefix=\progra~1\zope nmake build, nmake install worked fine, but for one warning at the end: (...) creating C:\progra~1\zope\skel\var copying skel\var\README.txt->C:\progra~1\zope\lib\python\..\..\skel\var warning: ZopeInstall: modules installed to 'C:\progra~1\zope\lib\python\', which is not in Python's module search path (sys.path) -- you'll have to change the search path yourself Zope binaries installed successfully. Now run '"C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe" C:\progra~1\zope\bin\mkzopeinstance' C:\Program Files\zope\bin>"C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe" C:\progra~1\zope\bin\mkzopeinstance --user Admin:mypass C:\progra~1\zope Dir of files now in C:\Program Files\zope\bin mkzeoinstance mkzopeinstance runzope runzope.bat zconfig zopectl Contents of runzope.bat: set PYTHON=C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe set ZOPE_HOME=C:\progra~1\zope set INSTANCE_HOME=C:\progra~1\zope set CONFIG_FILE=%INSTANCE_HOME%\etc\zope.conf set PYTHONPATH=%ZOPE_HOME%\lib\python "%PYTHON%" "%ZOPE_HOME%\bin\runzope.py" -C "%CONFIG_FILE%" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 Since runzope.py is never generated, is this the mkzopeinstance silently telling me that I need c:\progra~1\zope\lib\python added to the python 2.2 path? How do I configure that? I've only ever used sys.path.append(). Thanks for any insight you can provide. I'm really looking forward to getting this and mkzeoinstance going.
