* Try linking the static Sleepycat lib into _bsddb.pyd. Hard to sayTim Peters2002-11-231-12/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | whether this is a correct thing to do: + There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt). + test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now. + test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too. Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled the Windows installer accordingly.
* More bsddb-on-Windows fiddling:Tim Peters2002-11-231-2/+5
| | | | | | | | + News blurb, but as much XXX as news. + Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL; still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd). + Fleshed out build instructions. + Debug Python still blows up.
* Move Windows Python away from bsddb 1.85 and toward Sleepycat's latest.Tim Peters2002-11-221-12/+31
| | | | | | | The bsddb subproject is gone. The _bsddb subproject is new. There are problems here, but I'm out of time to work on this now. If anyone can address an XXX comment or two in readme.txt, please do!
* Renamed Wise vrbl from _TCLMINOR_ to _TCLDIR_, to remove any scriptTim Peters2002-11-191-7/+7
| | | | | dependence on the Tcl/Tk version number. Now you point it at the Tcl/Tk install you want to ship, and that's what it ships.
* Repaired typos in the Tcl/Tk compilation instructions. Turns out theyTim Peters2002-11-151-7/+6

* Windows changes to move from Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 to 8.4.1. I tested this byTim Peters2002-11-141-7/+53
| | | | | | | running IDLE, and since I'm not a Tcl Guy I'm not sure what else to do. Up to you! See XXX comments in PCbuild\readme.txt for cautions. Also repaired typos in the new bz2-for-Windows instructions.
* Start building the bz2 module on Windows.Tim Peters2002-11-091-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | CAUTION: The Python test still has many failures, but I'm out of time for this now (already took much longer than hoped to get this far). The base bz2 library does pass its own tests (see next). CAUTION: People building on Windows have to download and build tne bz2 compression libraries now. See PCbuild\readme.txt for complete instructions.
* Removed no-longer-relevant explanation of "alpha" builds.Tim Peters2002-07-101-8/+0

* Move to zlib 1.1.4 on Windows (the new version that squashes the "doubleTim Peters2002-03-131-7/+6
| | | | | free" glitch). Bugfix candidate -- I'll backpatch this into 2.2.1 later this week.
* Finish the pyexpat rework for Windows: builders needn't suck down theTim Peters2002-02-131-10/+3
| | | | | Expat installer from SF anymore, and the installer shouldn't install expat.dll anymore.
* Move Windows to Expat 1.95.2. CAUTION: Your Windows build won't workTim Peters2001-07-281-3/+8
| | | | until you download the new expat and install it; see PCbuild\readme.txt.

* In readme.txt, make what's needed to build the "optional" subprojectsTim Peters2000-08-251-3/+15
| | | | | | | much more explicit. Also document that we're moving to Tcl/Tk 8.3.2. Simplify .dsp files by getting rid of useless include paths. .wse file changed to reflect that my setup is different than Guido's: if you *build* a Python distro using python20.wse, beware!

| | | | | | | | what the dozen+ subprojects are for, which are and aren't expected to build out of the box, and what else is needed to get them all to build. Also explained that Alpha configurations don't refer to pre-beta, but to the Alpha processor! That's baffled me for years <0.7 wink>.
