[Zope] Zope on the Mac

10 Feb 1999

      Hello,

At work I use a Win95 PC and downloaded and installed the Zope Binary and
have it going without any problems. However at home I use a PowerPC
Macintosh.

Has anybody compiled and gotten Zope to work on the Macintosh?

I have all the tools to do it, CodeWarrior Pro 4, but do not have the
knowledge/skill.

I am interested in developing on my Mac, deployment will be thru a webhost
probably on Linux.

I ran the wo_pcgi.py and ran into these problems:

Problem 1:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building extension modules

------------------------------------------------
Compiling extensions in lib/python
make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=Hard
Disk:Applications:Programming:Python 1.5.1:Python
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "Hard Disk:Applications:Programming:Python
1.5.1:Zope-1.9.0-src:wo_pcgi.py", line 112, in ?
    import build_extensions
  File "Hard Disk:Applications:Programming:Python
1.5.1:Zope-1.9.0-src:build_extensions.py", line 108, in ?
    make('lib','python')
  File "Hard Disk:Applications:Programming:Python
1.5.1:Zope-1.9.0-src:do.py", line 117, in make
    do('make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=%s' % sys.executable)
  File "Hard Disk:Applications:Programming:Python
1.5.1:Zope-1.9.0-src:do.py", line 108, in do
    i=os.system(command)
AttributeError: system

Problem 2: (This maybe normal, I don't know.)
I also saw this line which looked strange:
Compiling Hard Disk:Applications:Programming:Python
1.5.1:Zope-1.9.0-src:lib:python:Products:ZGadflyDA:gadfly:sqlsem.py ...
no mem for next token
Sorry: MemoryError:

Problem 3:
When I attempt to run serve.py I get this error:
Traceback (innermost last):
...
  File "Hard Disk:Applications:Programming:Python
1.5.1:Zope-1.9.0-src:lib:python:Globals.py", line 105, in ?
    import Acquisition
ImportError: No module named Acquisition

Any ideas, help?

Thanks,

Jimmie Houchin
