Not that I know. The OSX installers on python.org include more C libraries,

Sorry, by creating a "full" build I meant building a Python including all the
libraries that come with the standard installer from python.org. The sort of
documentation I was looking for was not how to extend the build script - but what third
party C libraries need to be installed in order to perform the standard build.
Probably that doesn't exist either, but I guess if it *did* exist it would
be easier for other people to help by building the installers for new releases.
:-)
It doesn't exist as documentation, but the process is fully automated: run
Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py on a system running OSX 10.5 with
ActiveState Tcl/Tk installed in /Library/Frameworks.
But that doesn't *tell me* which third party libraries I need to install
first... The fact that the build is automated *once you have the correct
environment in place* doesn't help me *create that environment*. That is the
part I am asking about documentation for.
My paragraph above is everything that is needed. The whole point of the script
is to not have to create an environment but have a reproducable build. I'm
thinking about removing the need for installing Tcl/Tk as well, it should be
possible to get the same effect by creative use of linker flags.
So without installing any third party C libraries (other than Tk/Tcl)
the bsddb, readline (etc) modules *will* be built if you use the Mac
build-installer.py script even though they aren't built by ./configure
then make?
Michael
You mention about have ActiveState Tcl/Tk installed - but that won't build
readline, bsddb and possibly other C extension libraries that are part of a
standard install from a Python.org Mac OS X installer.
You don't have to install anything beyond Tcl/Tk.
