Microsoft Visual C++ Version 4.0 (32-bit Windows) ================================================= -The project files are vc40.mdp, vc40.ncb and vc40.mak. They -will NOT work from this PC directory. To use them, first copy -them to the Python distribution directory with this command: - copy vc40.* .. -You may then want to remove them from here to prevent confusion. - -Once the project files are located in the directory just above -this one, start VC++ and read in the project. The targets are built -in the subdirectories vc40_*. - -vc40_dll The Python core built as an NT DLL. - -vc40_nt A Windows NT and 95 Python QuickWin (console-mode) - version of Python including sockets. It is - self-contained, and does not require any DLL's. +The distributed Makefile is vc40.mak. This file is distributed with +CRLF line separators, otherwise Developer Studio won't like it. It +will NOT work from this PC directory. To use it, first copy it to the +Python distribution directory, e.g. with this command: + copy vc40.mak .. +To convert the Makefile into a project file, start Developer Studio, +choose Open Workspace, change the file name pattern to *.mak, find and +select the file vc40.mak, and click OK. Developer Studio will create +additional project files vc40.ncb and vc40.mdp when you use the +project. The project contains three targets, which should be built in +this order: + +python14 The Python core as a DLL, named python14.dll. + +python The Python main program, named python.exe. This should + work as a console program under Windows 95 or NT, as well + as under Windows 3.1(1) when using win32s. It uses + python14.dll. + +_tkinter The optional _tkinter extension, _tkinter.dll; see below. + +ALl end products of the compilation are placed in the subdirectory +vc40 (which Developer Studio creates); object files are placed in +vc40/tmp. There are no separate Release and Debug project variants. +Note that the python and _tkinter projects require that the +python14.lib file exists in the vc40 subdirectory before they can be +built. + +*** How to build the _tkinter extension *** + +This assumes that you have installed the Tcl/Tk binary distribution +for Windows 95/NT with version numbers 7.5p1/4.1p1, in the default +installation location (C:\tcl). (Ftp to ftp.sunlabs.com in /pub/tcl, +file win41p1.exe.) You must also have fetched and unpacked the zip +file vclibs41.zip which contains the files tcl75.lib and tk41.lib, and +placed those files in C:\tcl\bin. In order to use _tkinter, the +Tkinter.py module must be on PYTHONPATH. It is found in the +Lib\tkinter subdirectory. Microsoft Visual C++ Version 1.5 (16-bit Windows) |
