So, the -first thing you need is a tar program for the mac. Suntar is -reasonable and can be found at the info-mac sites. Edit the -preferences to make it extract C sources with creator CWIE -and .py files as text files with creator Pyth, this will save -you work later. - -You will also need CodeWarrior 11. If you have another development -environment you are on your own, basically. - -When you've extracted everything you may have to unpack the -.hqx files in Mac:Resources and Mac:mwerks:Projects (but suntar -may have done this for you already). - -You have to remove Modules:fmmodule.c, the SGI fm module, which has a -name conflict with the Mac Fmmodule.c. - - -Next, create your build directories. I use the following naming -convention: -build.macppc.shared PowerPC shared-library -build.mac68k.stand 68K non-shared -and there are also projects for ppc standalone and some others, they -may be useful at times. The project files expect the build directories -to be located right in the main python folder, if you put them elsewhere -you will have to edit the access paths. - -Move MWCPythonCoreRuntime.µ, PythonCore.µ, PythonPPC.µ and -PythonApplet.µ (from the Mac:mwerks:projects folder) to -build.macppc.shared, move Python68K.µ to build.mac68k.stand. - -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. - - Jack Jansen, CWI, 28 May 1997. |
