Thanks Chris I'm in the unfortunate position to need to be using Python2.2. So I need to get my extension compiled as a .slb.
I got as far as trying to compile the library under MPW (as following the instructions from http://www.nevada.edu/~cwebster/Python/MPWHOWTO/MPWHOWTO.html, however the sample c extension wouldn't compile. There were a number of missing include files. In the end I downloaded GUSI and tried compiling. The MPW compiler couldn't find header files there were under folders included in the include file path (for example, it couldn't find sys/cdefs.h, even-though sys/cdefs.h is present, in the GUSI include directory). I think I've had enough of this little adventure......thanks again for your help.

There is now one, unified python. You can use 2.3.* or 2.4.*, but either way, it's native OS-X. If you want to run it under classic (or on an old pre-OS-X machine), then you are talking a different beast, and you're not going to get it with gcc under OS-X. gcc only knows how to make mach-o binaries. You'll need CFM binaries. Your best bet is probably code warrior, which I don't think is supported in any way, shape or form by distutils. I used to compile python extensions with Code Warrior, and it wasn't too hard. Just the usual struggle to include and link all the right files. I think MPW can do it too, but I've never tried that. Now I know why you were looking at those old docs at the beginning of this adventure! Do you really need to run this under Classic? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
