[Zope3-dev] Zope3 sandbox with cygwin

[Pascal Habegger]

Hi everybody,

I managed to get a Zope3 sandbox up and running on Windows XP with
gcc/cygwin. I am not sure whether this information will be of help to anyone
out there, but there you go:

1. Using the setup-tool that comes with cygwin, install or update
   the following packages (in brackets the version I was using):
   - gcc       (3.2-3)
   - python    (2.2.2-1)
   - expat     (1.95.5-1)

2. Check out the latest source as described on
http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/SettingUpAZ
ope3Sandbox

3. Start a bash shell and run
   /usr/bin/python stupid_build.py

   The build script *should* run through without any problems :-)

NB: I tried gcc 2.95.* which did not work. I also run into problems using
the win32 distro from www.python.org with cygwin gcc. I haven't tried
ActivePython 2.2.2 yet. Anyone?

Regards,
Pascal
