[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #111203] 1.6b1 build (docs?) pyexpat problem on Windows

Bug #111203, was updated on 2000-Aug-06 11:36

Status: Open

Bug Group: Platform-specific
Priority: 5
Summary: 1.6b1 build (docs?) pyexpat problem on Windows

Details: pyexpat is not documented as one of those subprojects needing external software, but apparently it is one; it needs xmlparse and xmltok, .h and .lib to build and .dll
to run.  The docs don't mention where to get those from,
but I had them around (from a Perl site build...) and
feeding them to the Python 1.6b1 build fixed it.  So I
think it's just a doc-bug.

What documentation is there on this?  Sounds like something needs to change in the Windows README file; not sure.

Tim, you're the Windows guy.  Fix it.  ;)

Comment:
Assigned to Guido, because last I heard 1.6 was frozen, and he's got the 1.6 Windows build setup anyway.  The docs here were extensively rewritten for 2.0, and the complaint here doesn't exist there anymore.
