Building mod_python on Win32 with Python 2.4

[Nicolas Lehuen <ni...@gmail.com>]

Just as a notice, the GMane archive for python-dev is online. Hence, I
found this message from David Fraser :

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.mod-python.devel/481

After a few tries, I managed to build the current trunk on Win32 with
Python 2.4. Here is how I did it :

cd <path to the mod_python root>
set PYTHONSRC=<path to the Python 2.4 distribution>
set APACHESRC=<path to the Apache 2.0 distribution>
cd dist
python setup.py.in bdist_wininst

Note that even if the environment variables are named *SRC, you do not
need the sources of Python 2.4 or Apache 2.0 ; you can build
everything from astandard binary distribution.

I had to alter setup.py.in so that it defines the WIN32 macro when
compiling _psp.pyd, and psp_flex.h as well as psp_parser.c to use the
WIN32 macro to filter out references to unistd.h. I've checked in the
changes. Everything seems OK after that.

Regards,
Nicolas

Hi David,

The repository is there :

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/mod_python/trunk

Great, I was meaning to get around to sending these changes in now that 
the new bug tracking system is up.

I think I may have some more installation related changes, but I'm not 
exactly sure where the new subversion repository is located and the 
modpython.org page still points to CVS ...
