A couple of things:
PCbuild/readme.txt
Should be updated for the new release.
Tim will do this.
PC/config.h
VC++ 5.0 will not compile python20 unless "#include
" is commented out. Trent?
I'll leave this to Trent -- I don't know how to check for VC 5.0 vs. 6.0.
WITH_CYCLE_GC should be uncommented if we want to have GC enabled in the beta.
Done.
PCbuild/python20.dsp
Line endings seem to be incorrect. Someone probably edited the file on a Unix machine and munched things up. VC++ 5.0 likes DOS line endings otherwise it refuses to load the project.
There was one missing CR. Fixed now.
Also, I get a few warnings when compiling. One is about an /IZ (I think) option being ignored. There are a few other warnings as well which I didn't write down.
Probably 6.0 flags that 5.0 doesn't have. What can we do? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
