That part seems to be work in progress. I needed some time and manual

What changes are those? A fresh Zope trunk checkout works for me. Here's
what I did:

$ svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/repos/main/Zope/trunk Zope-trunk
  $ cd Zope-trunk
  $ ./configure


This fails if Python 2.4.2 is installed, but this worked:

  $ ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.4

[I see this is meanwhile fixed :)]

  $ make


works and returns this message:

  Zope built. Next, do 'make install' (or 'make instance'
  to run a Zope instance directly from the build directory).

following those instructions:

  $ make instance
  printf "Zope 2.8.0-b1" >\
            "/Zope-trunk/lib/python/version.txt"
  "/usr/bin/python2.4" "/Zope-trunk/setup.py"  \
     build_ext -i \
     install --skip-build --home="/Zope-trunk"
  running build_ext
  running build_headers
  running install
  running install_lib
  warning: install_lib: 'build/lib.linux-i686-2.4' does not exist
    -- no Python modules to install
  running install_headers
  [...]
  running install_scripts
  error: cannot copy tree 'build/scripts-2.4': not a directory
  make: *** [install] Error 1

Same problems as reported by the buildbot.

I seem to remember that if you remove the --skip-build in that generated command line it works. I know it took me a while too, and that I was too busy trying to fix tests afterward to record what I did exactly.

Anyway at least a build_scripts is missing somewhere.

Renaming build/temp.linux-i686-2.4 to build/lib.linux-i686-2.4 and adding build/scripts-2.4 by hand made 'make instance' run.

That worked for me (though I usually don't do the configure; make dance,
but just do an in-place build with python setup.py build -i; see also
below).


Using

  $ python2.4 setup.py build_ext -i

'works', but doesn't create a complete instance. Did you try to start bin/zopectl? I don't even have a bin directory.


And I didn't manage to install Zope trunk to a different location.
That seems to be completely screwed up.


"Not supported anymore" is the right wording here. Basically, the
"configure; make; make install" dance is going to go away for an SVN
checkout. A simple Makefile as we have it in Zope 3 that simply provides
shortcuts for in-place builds will probably replace it.

We're not even sure if the configure dance makes sense for a release
tarball. The only benefit of the ./configure script is that it
(presumably) chooses the right Python for you, which isn't always what
you want, anyways. At least I do ./configure --with-python=... more than
half of the times. So I could just call python setup.py install with
whatever Python I want in the first place.


Thanks for clarifying.


Cheers,

    Yuppie
