Note that I was able to get Zope up and running using Cywin after: - upgrading to the most recent snapshot Cywgin dll (cygwin1-20011016.dll), which was as easy as copying the file over the existing 1.3.3 version of cywin1.dll. I didn't futz with building anything Cygwin-related out of CVS.
- recompiling Cygwin python with thread support (which was a matter of "./configure; make; make install" with the Cygwin Python sources, as Norman said). - rerunning $PY_SRC/Tools/scripts/h2py.py against the fcntl.h file that lives in Cygwin's /usr/include/sys and saving the resulting FCNTL.py file in /usr/local/lib/python2.1/plat-cygwin/FCNTL.py I then compiled the Zope trunk using Cygwin Python and GCC via a simple "python wo_pcgi.py" and ran it via "./start", and voila! It at least appears to work! Very nice... thanks very much for the heads-up, Norman. I need to buy the guys at Cygnus a beer or a yacht or something. -C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norman Vine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 11:30 AM Subject: [Zope-dev] Zope & Cygwin > Michel Pelletier writes: > >> > >Whether or not it is the most popular, who knows?
