[ZODB-Dev] Please help - no cl.exe available

[Patrick K. O'Brien]

I got the latest StandaloneZODB out of cvs and did "python setup.py build"
as instructed in the README, but since I do not have the MS C++ compiler it
failed on the cl.exe step. Does this mean I won't be able to use the version
out of cvs?

If so, is anyone making binaries available that are current with the cvs
versions? I know AMK has binaries available, but I was under the impression
those were not current.

I do have Zope installed, but I want to also use ZODB standalone and need to
be able to import ZODB in my python shell. The normal Zope install doesn't
seem to make ZODB available in this way. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm on Win98se, btw. I do have Cygwin, which has the Gnu C++ compiler, but
that probably won't do me any good in this situation, right?

Thanks for any and all help.
