    <pre wrap="">Hi List,

I notice that the latest Zope does not have a Windows binary release yet
(zope 2.80 alpha 2).

I found an old Visual C 6.0 (still in the box!) and wonder if there are
instructions somewhere that I can follow to create my own binary on
Windows XP?

Assuming that VC6 is the compiler used to build Python (should be true
for Python &lt; 2.4):

  C:\Zope-2.8.0a2&gt; python.exe setup.py build_ext --inplace

Tres.

Tres,<br>
Thanks for responding.&nbsp; I tried the suggestion:<br>
<pre wrap="">  C:\Zope-2.8.0a2&gt; python.exe setup.py build_ext --inplace</pre>
&nbsp;and the thing runs for a while (good sign, as visual c 6.0 is
compiling things) then I get this:<br>
<br>
building
'Products.PluginIndexes.TextIndex.Splitter.ISO_8859_1_Splitter.ISO_8859_1_Splitter'
extension<br>

When I inspect

find only one file and its:<br>
ISO_8859_000064 (no extension).<br>
<br>
I've been reviewing distUtils but just started so I'm unlcear about
this stuff still.<br>
Any ideas?<br>
