[Stephan Richter, announces the first alpha of Zope X3 3.0.0, at http://zope.org/Products/ZopeX3 ] In addition to the tarball, there's also a basic Windows installer on that page: ZopeX3-3.0.0a1.win32-py2.3.exe It was tested on Win XP Pro, but should work on all modern Windows flavors. Here are instructions for using it, as modifications to the Unixish instructions. I'll assume you installed Python 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 in \Python23 (that's the default for Python):
- Unpack the release using::
tar xozf ZopeX3-3.0.0a1.tgz
- Enter the new, unpacked directory and configure it::
./configure --prefix=zope
You might also need the '--with-python=<Python executable>', if your Python is not in a standard path.
- Execute 'make' and 'make install'.
Skip the above. Run the installer instead.
- Enter the 'zope' directory and create an instance::
bin/mkzopeinstance -d<instance dir> -u<username>:<password>
Similar, except cd to \Python23\Scripts instead, and enter ..\python mkzopeinstance -d<instance dir> -u<username>:<password>
- Enter the instance directory and try to run zope using 'bin/runzope'.
"The instance directory" is what you gave as the -d argument to mkzopeinstance. cd to that, and enter \Python23\python bin\runzope Note that an uninstaller entry (under the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet) for Zope X3 3.0.0a1 is also created by the installer.
