This week we want to start providing binary releases of Zope that make running Zope a bit simpler for people who:
- Don't have Python, - Have a Python that doesn't work with Zope, - Don't have a C compiler, or - Don't want to figure out how to deal with build problems.
To make this happen, we're looking for volunteers to help us build the binary files for various versions of Unix. I've put together a binary porting kit to make this as easy as I can. The kit can be found at:
http://www.zope.org/Download/ZKit/zkit-1.9.0k1.tgz
Basically, all you have to do is extract this and run a script. If all goes well, everything is automagic. If not, well...let me know and we'll see if we can figure it out. :)
When everything is built, just tar up the release again and send it back to me.
Note that we already have or can readily create binaries for Linux 2 (glibc), Solarus 2.6 on Sparc and Intel, and Win 32 on Intel.
We found a bug in the build script in the porting kit. I've put a new version of the kit at: http://www.zope.org/Download/ZKit/zkit-1.9.0k2.tgz If anyone has already downloaded the kit, let me know and I'll send you a new build script so you don't need to download the entire kit.
