Hello I've managed to build python2.4 and python2.5 in windows with MSVC++ 7.1 fine following the instructions in the PCbuild directory. However now I am wondering how to create the MSI from this[1], but can't find any instructions. All I'm looking for is the equivalent of "make install" (or "make install DESTDIR=/alternative/root").
I could just look at what files and registry settings etc the installer creates and collect all the files manually from the build directory, and then poor them into an MSI. But that seems a bit dangerous for missing something and it will become a maintenance headache on upgrades too. Isn't there some script shipped with python that allows you to build a completely compatible distribution? It would be great if someone knows how Python builds it's MSI. Thanks Floris [1] Ok, not really. What I really want is a merge module or .msm, but never mind that part. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
