After Googling around, I could not find the answer to this one: My C/C++ experience is limited to working in Borland's C++ Builder environment which hides most of the make/build intricacies from the user. As a result I do not have a clue how to create make files. As a result I do not have a clue how to build Zope on Windows. I want to play around with Zope 2.7b running on Python2.3 and cannot find binaries or instructions on building Zope against Python2.3 on Windows. I'm sure that I'll get it running on Linux, but for various reasons (out of my control) our working environment is Windows and not Linux. If the answer to this question turns out to be RTFM, at least point me in the direction of the M! Thanks Etienne

As stated in doc/INSTALL.txt you can do the configure / make dance if you have cygwin or similiar tools installed. I have no idea how borland works, so you'll probably have to do some digging. Using Visual Studio all you have to do is ensure the Visual Studio environment variables are set and type: "python setup.py install" which will work as well. -- Andy McKay ClearWind Consulting http://www.clearwind.ca
The easiest way to build Zope on Windows is to get Visual C++ 6.0 (I don't know if Python or Zope will compile with the Borland compiler), then check out "WinBuilders" from cvs.zope.org repository (currently down at the moment) and follow the instructions that come with that package. It includes (ironically) installing Cygwin, although the package produced is a Windows-native one. On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 11:46, Andy McKay wrote:

Sorry, correction, cvs.zope.org is up for checkouts and the package you want is "Packages/WinBuilders". On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 11:46, Andy McKay wrote:

Search the mailing list archives... There is a discussion between <mailto:chrism@zope.com> and <mailto:chrisw@nipltd.com> about how to generate Zope 2.7 on Windows. You do not need to build your own make files or project. You may need a M$ C compiler, however. Dieter
