I was able to a little further by changing 2 lines in Makefile.pre.in. On line 170, changed: DLLLIBRARY= @DLLLIBRARY@ to: DLLLIBRARY= libpython$(VERSION).dll
On line 509 it had: $(DLLLIBRARY) libpython$(VERSION).dll.a: $(LIBRARY_OBJS) which I changed to: $(DLLLIBRARY) libpython$(LDVERSION).dll.a: $(LIBRARY_OBJS) Compile finishes with: Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: _gdbm _sqlite3 _tkinter nis ossaudiodev spwd To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name. Failed to build these modules: _curses _curses_panel But 'make test' returns many errors. I'm thinking I'll try Python 3.1 instead. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
