(adding BUILDEXT would need patching > of the Makefile.pre.in process as well as distutils) The problem is only with building the interpreter. Because HFS+ is case-insensitive creating an executable "python" when there's already a subdirectory "Python" isn't going to work. So the idea is to use the BUILDEXT to create "python.exe" in stead, but install that as the normal "python" in the eventual install location. I would assume that the extra variable BUILDEXT in Makefile.pre.in woulnd't bother distutils or anything else. -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.cwi.nl/~jack | see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/spg-l/sigaction.htm
