I can't compile the DCOracle extension on win32. In face I can't even produce the Makefile. This is what happens:- N:...>make -f makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=python rm -f *.o *~ make: /bin/sh: Command not found make: [clean] Error 127 (ignored) rm -f *.a tags TAGS config.c Makefile.pre python sedscript make: /bin/sh: Command not found make: [clobber] Error 127 (ignored) rm -f *.so *.sl so_locations make: /bin/sh: Command not found make: [clobber] Error 127 (ignored) VERSION=`python -c "import sys; print sys.version[:3]"`; \ installdir=`python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"`; \ exec_installdir=`python -c "import sys; print sys.exec_prefix"`; \ make -f ./Makefile.pre.in VPATH=. srcdir=. \ VERSION=$VERSION \ installdir=$installdir \ exec_installdir=$exec_installdir \ Makefile make: /bin/sh: Command not found make: *** [boot] Error 127 Isn't makefile.pre.in supposed to be 'platform independent' ? Why do I see /bin/sh and all the other unix stuff ? I apologize if this is the wrong list for this - please point me. Thanks, Shalabh
