To quote the devguide, the complete command is: ./configure --with-pydebug && make -j2 which you can decompose into: ./configure --with-pydebug make -j2 (note: "--with-pydebug" is kind of optional, but enables many debugging guards and assertions that help catch low-level issues; it also makes the resulting executable slower, somewhere between 2x and 10x slower) python.exe will be created by the "make" step, not the "./configure" step. (as a side note, "-j2" means two processes will be used concurrently for compiling; you can adjust according to the number of CPU cores in your system) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
