Hi,

Here's my experience in setting zope 2.6.2 with python 2.3.2 in both 
windows 2000 and red hat linux 9. Each
step is marked with [x], where x is the platform that this step is 
applicable, x=W for Windows, x=L for Linux.

1) [WL] extract source :)

2) [W] cd into 
Zope-2.6.2-src\lib\python\Products\PluginIndexes\TextIndex\Splitter\, fix 
the following
truncated file names:
ISO_8859_1_Splitter\src\ISO_885  to  ISO_8859_1_Splitter.c
UnicodeSplitter\src\UnicodeSpli  to  UnicodeSplitter.c
UnicodeSplitter\tests\__init__   to  __init__.py
UnicodeSplitter\tests\testUnico  to  testUnicodeSplitter.py

3) [WL] python 2.3.2 will complain that some zope codes contain 'argument 
named None', e.g. def mymethod(a, b,
None=None). So  goto Zope-2.6.2-src\inst\, edit compilezpy.py. Change 
class NoteErr to:
class NoteErr:
        wrote = 0
        def write(self, *args):
            for arg in args:
                if arg.find('SyntaxWarning: argument named None'): return
            self.wrote = 1
            apply(stderr.write, args)

4) [W] Start compiling zope in windows. Cd into \Zope-2.6.2-src, then run 
"c:\progra~1\python23\python.exe
wo_pcgi.py". Don't use "c:\program files\...", the space will fail the 
compilation. Another note: I can't
compile zope using w_pcgi.py because it invokes unix command to compile 
pcgi. Anyway, I don't need pcgi, so
wo_pcgi.py is fine for me.

5) [L] Start compiling zope in linux. Cd into Zope-2.6.2-src, then run 
"python2.3 wo_pcgi.py" or "python2.3
w_pcgi.py"

6) [WL] Make a zope instance. Cd into Zope-2.6.2-src\inst, run 
make_instance.py and follow on-screen
instruction. You need to hack the start script in the instance directory 
to make it run in windows.


Have fun! Comments are most welcome.
