Ah, that is then caused by prerequisites missing. It is definitely,
certainly, absolutely not because earlier modules failed to build.

It has nothing to do with the Makefile, either - all happens in a
single setup.py invocation.

You should add print statements

1. at the beginning of detect_tkinter, to see whether it is
    invoked, and

2. Just before the line

self.extensions.append(ext)

    in detect_tkinter

If 1 is executed, and 2 is not, then some prerequisites are
missing. Trace through the function.
