Same here (although my old laptop doesn't have enough disk space remaining to download the whole thing). > Python compiled fine, both with and without "./configure > --with-threads" Z3 also compiled without a hickup. Python 2.3.3 comes with current Cygwin, so there shouldn't be a need to build Python (or maybe there is? I don't know; the one that comes with Cygwin has threads enabled already: $ python Python 2.3.3 (#1, Dec 30 2003, 08:29:25) [GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special)] on cygwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import thread >>> def f(): ... print 'hi!' ... >>> thread.start_new_thread(f, ()) 10852896 >>> hi! ). I didn't have any problems compiling anything, I hit instant disasters whenever code tried to spawn a new process ("mystery errors" under WinXP Pro, segfault and system freeze under Win98SE). > But when I tried to go to "http://localhost:8080" or > "http://localhost:8080/manage" I just got a "A system error > occurred." message, and a the following log entry: > > 2004-04-22T08:47:13 ERROR root PageTemplateFile: Error in template: > Compilation failed > exceptions.SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1) > > Which is sort of non-helpfull.

I don't know whether you're building Zope2 or Zope3, but since this is the zope-dev list I assume the former. Try http://zope.org/Members/tim_one/Zope2-20040422.zip/file_view and let us know what happens! As the comment there says, it's just ".pyd files from Zope2 HEAD, compiled with MSVC 6". This is from an inplace ("setup.py build_ext -i") build on Windows, from a current Zope HEAD checkout. > As far as I can see from a quick manual scan of the directory > structure that's how the code is structured now? > > The compiled files are not under version control, and so would not be > overwritten by updating from cvs/subversion.
