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!
