This is an ALPHA release of Python 1.0 for UNIX. Currently it builds
|
|
a rather minimal executable and requires that you already have Python
|
|
0.9.9 (or at least its library).
|
|
|
|
Instructions for building:
|
|
|
|
(1) Run the configure shell script:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
This may take a minute or two -- it does a rather thorough
|
|
investigation of your system to find out many compile-time flags. It
|
|
prints messages but does not ask questions. When finished, it will
|
|
create config.status in the current directory, as well as Makefile in
|
|
each of the subdirectories Parser, Objects and Python. Note that
|
|
unless you have the CC shell environment variable set to the name of
|
|
your C compiler, it will attempt to find the GNU C compiler (gcc) and
|
|
use it if it finds it. On some systems a broken gcc may be installed;
|
|
put CC=cc in the environment to override it. On some systems it may
|
|
be interesting to compare both compilers. (Note: the Makefile has
|
|
been rigged in such a way that it will run configure if you haven't
|
|
done so.)
|
|
|
|
(2) Run Make:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
This will recursively run Make in each of the Parser, Grammar, Objects
|
|
and Python subdirectories. In Parser it builds an executable "pgen"
|
|
and a library libParser.a. In Grammar it runs Parser/pgen to generate
|
|
graminit.[ch] which are copied to Includes and Python, respectively.
|
|
In Objects it builds a library libObjects.a. In Python it builds a
|
|
library libPython.a and an executable "python".
|
|
|
|
(3) Test the resulting executable:
|
|
|
|
Python/python -c 'import testall'
|
|
|
|
For now, this will assume that you have a working version of Python
|
|
release 0.9.9 installed in /usr/local (it uses the Python library from
|
|
/usr/local/lib/python) or that your PYTHONPATH shell environment
|
|
variable points to the 0.9.9 Python library.
|
|
|
|
(4) Optionally: read Extensions/README and try to build a Python with
|
|
all the extensions that make sense on your system. (Note: some
|
|
extensions are not supported yet.)
|
|
|
|
(5) Give feedback:
|
|
|
|
Mail guido@cwi.nl
|
|
|
|
Please tell me whether the build succeeded or not. If you needed to
|
|
edit *any* file, tell me which file, why and how (send me a diff or a
|
|
copy of the modified file if you can). If you get stuck, please send
|
|
me the error output. Don't forget to mention the operating system,
|
|
compiler and hardware version that you used, e.g. "Solaris 2.2 with
|
|
gcc version cygnus-2.0.2 on a dual processor Sparcstation 10" or "IRIX
|
|
5.1 with standard cc on an Indigo XS-24 with R4000 CPU". If you can
|
|
build the core interpreter but get stuck building an extended version,
|
|
let me know which extensions gave problems and how.
