- README text for the source code for Amiga Python 1.4
-
-
- THIS SOURCE DISTRIBUTION CONTAINS THE SOURCE CODE FOR THE LATEST
- RELEASE OF PYTHON 1.4. THE LATEST AMINET RELEASE IS DATED 12-Jan-97
- (and is older than this version).
-
-
-
- Requirements
- ------------
-
- - SAS/C
- Sorry but you must change *A LOT* to compile with other compilers.
- Please use the latest version of SAS/C (6.58).
-
- - AmiTCP SDK
- For the network code. Use the 4.3 version, AmiTCP-SDK-4.3.lha,
- on Aminet (in comm/tcp).
- Maybe version 3 works too (haven't tried it).
-
- - A fair amount of harddisk space and RAM.
-
-
- Build instructions:
- -------------------
-
- 1. Check compiler options and symbol definitions and other configs.
- Files: SCOPTIONS, SMAKEFILE, include/config.h, include/config.c,
- include/osdefs.h
- If you change anything (for instance, CPU settings, optimizations,
- changes in an include file) re-build the GST (step 2).
-
- 2. (re)build the GST if needed: smake Python.GST
- Actually, this is not needed in most cases. Just proceed with step 3.
-
- 3. Build python: just type smake. Everything should compile without
- errors. Ignore any reasonable warnings.
-
- 4. Put your executable in the right place, for example Python:Python.
-
- 5. RUN THE TESTSET with your new executable. This is very important.
- Look in the Python distribution for files and more info (Aminet:
- dev/lang/Python14.lha).
-
-
-
- Notes
- -----
-
- The 882 drawer contain a project for a 68030+882 optimized version (which
- runs just fine on 68040/60 too) Just cd to the drawer and type 'smake'.
-
- Documentation and library files are NOT included. Grab the distribution
- release from Aminet (dev/lang/Python14.lha) to get them.
-
- Contact me for any information (ijong@gak.nl).

- *** IMPORTANT ***
- -----------------
-
- I don't fancy ten different versions of AmigaPython floating around. So
- *please* if you made a change or enhancement or fix, contact me and if it's
- good it will be merged in the `official' AmigaPython version (mine). That
- way, everyone can profit from it. Thanks!
