[Zope3-Users] building Zope3 on Solaris 10

[Kamal Gill]

Hi Damon,

I'm not sure if this will help, but here's my build notes from the  
Zope 3.2.1 OS X Installer (with OSX-specific details removed)...

--snip--

- Download Python 2.4.3 at http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/ 
Python-2.4.3.tgz

- Download Zope 3.2.1 at http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope3/3.2.1

- Create directory /opt/Zope-3.2.1

- Compile Python...

   ./configure --prefix=/opt/Zope-3.2.1/Python-2.4.3 --with-readline
   make
   sudo make install

- Compile Zope...

   ./configure --prefix=/opt/Zope-3.2.1 --with-python=/opt/Zope-3.2.1/ 
Python-2.4.3/bin/python --force
   make
   sudo make install

- Create Zope instance

   sudo /opt/Zope-3.2.1/bin/mkzopeinstance --dir=/opt/Zope-3.2.1/ 
Instance --user=admin:$PASSWORD --password-manager=SHA1

--snip--

My approach places all libraries and dependencies in one folder,  
allowing users who need to uninstall Zope 3.2.1 to simply delete a  
single folder.

There are a few more steps the installer's postinstall script takes  
care of, such as generating a random password for mkzopeinstance,  
adding the instance, adding an unprivileged OS X user account, adding  
a symbolic link (alias) that points from /Applications/Zope-3.2.1 to / 
opt/Zope-3.2.1, and setting the effective user to the unprivileged  
account (in etc/zdaemon.conf).  See the OS X installer's postinstall  
script inside the installer metapackage for details.

PPC_build2006041702.zip/file_view

I'm going to eventually place my build notes at zope.org, but I'm  
going to wait until at least a few users report that my installer  
works (--which it does, at least on my 10.4 PPC box).

HTH,
Kamal
