[Pythonmac-SIG] compiling MacPython

[Martin Miller]

Hi Matt, 

I think you do need Codewarrior 7. I personally have not had the
problems you describe when building MacPython 2.2 from the source
distribution using CW7.

The MacPython webpage at <http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html> says
the following:

In the "Current distribution" section:
> Note 4: The extension module developer package in the MacPython 
> distribution assumes you use Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 7. If you
> have CodeWarrior 5.3 you should get this patch provided by Tom Loredo. 
> patch <http://www128.pair.com/loredo/macpython/CW5%20for%20MacPy2.2.sit.hqx>

and, in the "Source distributions" section:
> The source distribution has built with CodeWarrior Pro 7. It is, 
> however, strongly suggested that if you want to contribute actively 
> to MacPython development you get source access through the public 
> CVS repository (see below), as this will ensure that you are always

Hope this helps,
-Martin
