IBM VisualAge C/C++ for OS/2
============================
To build Python for OS/2, change into ./os2vacpp and issue an
'NMAKE' command. This will build a PyCore15.dll containing the
set of Python modules listed in config.c and a small Python.exe
to start the interpreter.
During the build process you will see a couple of harmless warnings:
From the C Compiler, "No function prototype given for XXX", which
comes from the use of K&R parameters within Python for portability.
From the ILIB librarian, "Module Not Found (XXX)", which comes
from its attempt to perform the (-+) operation, which removes and
then adds a .OBJ to the library. The first time a build is done,
it obviously cannot remove what is not yet built.
This build includes support for most Python functionality as well
as TCP/IP sockets. It omits the Posix ability to 'fork' a process
but supports threads using OS/2 native capabilities. I have tried
to support everything possible, even popen() to run a child process
and communicate with it via a pipe.
With respect to the environment variables for Python, I use the
following setup:
Set PYTHONHOME=E:\Tau\Projects\Python
Set PYTHONPATH=.;E:\Tau\Projects\Python\Lib; \
E:\Tau\Projects\Python\Lib\plat-win
If you have questions or problems specifically with the VAC++ port
of Python, please contact me at:
Jeff Rush <jrush@summit-research.com>.
I support no other platform but OS/2 (and eventually AmigaDOS).
See os2vacpp/readme.txt. This platform is supported by Jeff Rush.
