Hi, I modified Makefile.pre.in to avoid installing wininst-*.exe files, since these files are only useful on Windows: the distutils bdist_wininst command only works on Windows. https://bugs.python.org/issue37468 I made the assumption that "make install" is only used on Unix, not on Windows. I never tried to build Python in Cygwin or MinGW on Windows. If someone knows these platforms, and consider that wininst-*.exe should still be installed on these platforms, please propose a pull request for bpo-37468. By the way, bdist_wininst is now deprecated in Python 3.8: wheel packages are now preferred. https://bugs.python.org/issue37481 Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
