Is it possible to run Zope on an old Mac IIci under Linux/m68k or MacBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD/mac68k? I have this machine and would like to use it as a learning environment. Thanks, Virgil
Probably! Why don't you give it a try? "Huston, Virgil H." wrote:

If there is a working Python port and a GNU C compiler for your platform, the source version of Zope should compile. Zope might be a bit slow on this kind of machine, and you definitely need some RAM ... Joachim
I was just looking at doing this for mklinux (6100/66), but the current (DR3) release is based on redhat 5, so the compiler and python are too old, you'd be stuck with zope 2.0. So first step is get kernel 2.4 to run.

Though I've not tried Zope on 68k personally, Debian does have precompiled binaries of 2.1.6 and similar programs in its stable m68k tree: ftp> cd /debian/dists/potato/main/binary-m68k/web 250 CWD command successful. ftp> dir zope* 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list. lrwxrwxrwx 1 debian debian 45 Feb 16 18:50 zope-mysqlda_1.1.3-1.deb -> ../../binary-all/web/zope-mysqlda_1.1.3-1.deb lrwxrwxrwx 1 debian debian 50 Feb 16 18:50 zope-pygresqlda_0.3rjr2-1.deb -> ../../binary-all/web/zope-pygresqlda_0.3rjr2-1.deb -rw-rw-r-- 1 debian debian 18002 Apr 5 2000 zope-siteaccess_1.0.1-1.deb lrwxrwxrwx 1 debian debian 45 Feb 16 18:50 zope-tinytable_0b2-2.deb -> ../../binary-all/web/zope-tinytable_0b2-2.deb -rw-rw-r-- 1 debian debian 1129018 Dec 3 2000 zope_2.1.6-5.2.deb With a working C/Python/Debian development environment, you could take the 2.3.3 sources from Debian unstable and rebuild them under the stable release.
