I know this is Zope mailing list, but I would like to ask a Python question. I am new in Zope and Python, but I would like to compile Python myself in order to install Zope 2.5.0. What standard configure I should set in compiling Python for the purpose of learning Python and the requirement of compiling Zope? eg. ./configure --prefix=??? --??? I am using Debian 2.2r5, kernel 2.2.19.
For Debian I recommend to install standard expat package, libxmltok1, libxmltok1-dev (for PyExpat wrapper). (I hope all other recommended packages are already instlled - libreadline4 and all that...) Untar Python 2.1.2 sources and edit Modules/Setup.in. Uncomment *shared* line. Search for "pyexpat", comment it and put new line there: pyexpat pyexpat.c -I/usr/include/xmltok -lxmlparse -lxmltok Then run OPT="-O2" CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O2" CXX="g++" CXXFLAGS="-O2" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure make make test make install (this one under root account) Oleg. -- Oleg Broytmann http://phd.pp.ru/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
