Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.3 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mike Brown (mike_j_brown) Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: Windows non-MS compiler doc updates Initial Comment: Documents affected: http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.2/inst/tweak-flags.html sec. 6.2.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.1/inst/tweak-flags.html sec. 6.2.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.3/inst/tweak-flags.html sec. 6.2.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/inst/non-ms- compilers.html sec. 3.1.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.2/inst/non-ms- compilers.html sec. 3.1.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.1/inst/non-ms- compilers.html sec. 3.1.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.2/inst/non-ms- compilers.html sec. 3.1.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.1.3/inst/non-ms- compilers.html sec. 3.1.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.1.2/inst/non-ms- compilers.html sec. 3.1.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.1.1/inst/non-ms- compilers.html sec. 3.1.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.1/inst/tweak-flags.html sec. 3.1.2 1. Filenames in the examples are way out of date. It is also not clear to the reader that python23.dll is located in %SystemRoot%\System32. I suggest that you change the pexports command line example to pexports \Windows\System32\python23.dll > python23.def In the Python 2.2 docs, use python22.dll and python22.def. In the Python 2.1 docs, use python21.dll and python21.def. 2. It's not clear to the reader where dlltool is. dlltool can also output directly to the right directory. I suggest that you change the dlltool command line example to \cygwin\bin\dlltool --dllname python23.dll --def python23.def --output-lib \Python23\Libs\libpython23.a In the Python 2.2 docs, use python22.dll, python22.def, and libpython22.a. In the Python 2.1 docs, use python21.dll, python21.def and libpython21.a. 3. Another filename out of date. I suggest that you change "The resulting library has to be placed in the same directory as python20.lib." to "The resulting library has to be placed in the same directory as python23.lib." In the Python 2.2 docs, use python22.lib. In the Python 2.1 docs, use python21.lib. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fred L.

I've made updates based on 1 and 2 for the Python 2.5 documentation (revision 45738). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=839709&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
