OPT is meant to carry just optimization- and + debug-related flags like "-g" and "-O3". BASECFLAGS is meant to carry + compiler flags that are required to get a clean compile. On some + platforms (many Linux flavors in particular) BASECFLAGS will be empty by + default. On others, such as Mac OS X and SCO, it will contain required + flags. This change allows people building Python to override OPT without + fear of clobbering compiler flags which are required to get a clean build. + +- On Darwin/Mac OS X platforms, /sw/lib and /sw/include are added to the + relevant search lists in setup.py. This allows users building Python to + take advantage of the many packages available from the fink project + <http://fink.sf.net/>. + +- A new Makefile target, scriptsinstall, installs a number of useful scripts + from the Tools/scripts directory. + C API ----- |
