Hi, this one stung me too for a while but the Makefile.pre.in the instructions are refering to is the one which a full python install has in the /usr/lib/python/config/ directory which is used for building python modules and making sure they build correctly against python. So for a typical python2.1 installation you copy the /usr/lib/python2.1/config/Makefile.pre.in into the directory and continue following the instructions. I feel the instructions could be a little clearer (its not clear from the context that the Makefile comes with python). cheers, mick On Mon, 2001-11-12 at 15:04, Ben Ocean wrote:
Hi; In the instructions for installing ZPatterns I read the following:
Please follow the standard procedures for building a Python module on your platform. (On Unix-ish systems, this usually consists of copying a Makefile.pre.in to the directory, then doing a make -f Makefile.pre.in boot followed by make.
Where does one find a *Makefile.pre.in* to copy? Or are there more explicit instructions to be found? TIA, BenO
