Hello,
I'm having problems building tcl/tk and python on Windows XP so that both are
installed correctly.
1. ActivePython 2.7.2.5 works fine on my system but may be implicated in recent
R6034 runtime errors from users.
2. Python.org 2.7.2 msi binaries install fine, but produce a "tcl wasn't
installed correctly" runtime error from pyinstaller builds.
3. I built Python.org 2.7.2 sources using MSVC++ 2008 Express with a lot of
manual work for the subprocess wrappers. The buildbot tools, which should more
or less automate that process, did not work for me.
4. I can build tcl/tk 8.5.10 using MinGW/Msys.
5. When I built the tkinter component, I placed the build of tcl/tk where it
was expected by the build scripts, and VC++ reported that the build was
successful. However, if I start python.exe from the build directory, I can't
import Tkinter (or tkinter).
I feel like I must be missing some basic understanding of how and where things
are installed; having completed the builds I still don't know how to install
the resulting files into the correct directories.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
Lynn
