I agree. I had to build Python once on a corporate AIX box without any modern facilities. If it had needed anything else than a standard C compiler, I couldn't have done it. > About cmake: I haven't looked at it recently, but I have a bit of hard > time believing python requires more from a build system than KDE. What are the compilation requirements for cmake itself? Does it only need a standard C compiler and library, or are there other dependencies? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
