-Build the projects. For the PPC projects, keep the order given above.
-Do *not* run the python interpreter yet. First, move the interpreter
-to the main python folder. For PPC, also move PythonCore to the main
-python folder.
-
-Now try your python interpreter, this will create an initial
-preferences file.
-
-For 68K python you are now done.
-
-For PPC Python, don't try complicated scripts yet, you first have to
-create the dynamically loadable modules. Create a folder PlugIns (in
-the toplevel python folder) and move all the projects that have
-"module" or "modules" in their name there. Build these projects. This
-will create a number of ".exp" files, edit these files to contain only
-all the "init" modules, and build the projects again. This latter step
-isn't really essential, so feel free to skip it.
-
-The next step is to create aliases for the various modules that "live
-together" in one shared library. For this, take MkPluginAliases.py and
-MkPluginAliases.rsrc from the Mac:scripts folder and move or copy them
-to the python home folder. Run the script from there.
-
-If you haven't created all plugins you'll get some errors about files
-not existing, don't worry. Don't forget to move the scripts back.
-
-Next, make an alias of PythonCore (also named PythonCore) and put it
-in System Folder:Extensions. This will ensure that you can run python
-anywhere, not just from the folder where PythonCore lives.
-
-Most of your environment is now setup. You can try it by running
-EditPythonPrefs.py (in Mac:scripts), it should now work from there.
-
-Lastly, you should setup some stuff needed for applet creation. First,
-you should put PythonApplet (or an alias to it) in the python home
-folder. Next, you should turn mkapplet.py (from mac:scripts) into an
-applet itself: double-click it and give it itself as input in the
-input file dialog.
-
-Now that you have created mkapplet you can use this as a droplet:
-drag-and-drop python sources onto it (EditPythonPrefs.py and
-RunLibScript.py come to mind) and the applets will be created.
+Now, your folder structure more-or-less resembles that of what comes
+with the mac source distribution. Read the file Mac:Demo:building.html
+for further instructions.
