Hi, I would like to know if anyone has been able to compile and run Zope 2.8.4 with Cygwin. I just installed cygwin with latest stable packages. I compiled python 2.4.2 (I know, not the supported version, so I am about to try 2.3.5 now) I had issues with the socket module, and from google I applied a workaround that worked fine : in Modules/socketmodule.c Change : #if defined(__sgi) && !defined(INET_ADDRSTRLEN) #define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16 #endif To : /*#if defined(__sgi) && !defined(INET_ADDRSTRLEN)*/ #define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16 /*#endif*/ I made several python tests and all looks fine. Then I compiled Zope 2.8.4 without any issue. But when I run it, I get this error: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. exceptions.TypeError Sorry, a site error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 187, in publish_module_standard Module Products.Localizer, line 58, in new_publish Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 144, in publish Module Zope2.App.startup, line 174, in zpublisher_exception_hook Module App.ZApplication, line 60, in __bobo_traverse__ Module UserDict, line 17, in __getitem__ Module ZODB.Connection, line 704, in setstate Module ZODB.Connection, line 760, in _setstate Module ZODB.serialize, line 495, in setGhostState Module ZODB.serialize, line 488, in getState Module ZODB.serialize, line 436, in _persistent_load Module ZODB.Connection, line 208, in get Module ZODB.serialize, line 482, in getGhost TypeError: Acquirer.__new__(Application) is not safe, use Persistence.Persistent.__new__() Does anyone know what I can do ? Thanks a lot.
