-# patches for the Boehm GC for PyPy under Windows
-
-"""
-This file is obsolete now since gc-7.0 / gc-7.1 .
-Please use the instructions in pypy\doc\windows.rst .
-
-How to build a pypy compatible version of the Boehm collector
-for Windows and Visual Studio .net 2003.
-
-First of all, download the official Boehm collector suite
-from http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc.tar.gz
-At the time of writing (2005-10-06) this contains version gc6.5 .
-
-Unpack this folder somewhere, for instance to "d:\tmp".
-Change to this folder using
-
-d:
-cd \tmp\gc6.5
-
-Then copy the file NT_THREADS_MAKEFILE to Makefile:
-
-copy NT_THREADS_MAKEFILE Makefile
-
-This file is the general-purpose gc dll makefile. For some internal
-reasons, this file's defaults are bad for PyPy. The early initialisation
-in DllMain() inhibits the changes necessary for PyPy. Use this script to
-do a patch: (assuming that you have d:\pypy\dist\pypy\translator\goal)
-
-python d:\pypy\dist\pypy\translator\goal\win32\gc_patch_windows.py
-
-Now, your makefile is patched a little bit. In particular,
-
-ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS   is now undefined, which PyPy wants to have
-NO_GETENV               is specified, since we don't want dependencies
-
-and the name of the .lib and .dll files is changed to gc_pypy.???
-
-Now you need to build your gc, either as a debug or as a release
-build. First of all, make sure that you have your environment prepared.
-Please note that you will need to use Microsoft's cmd, as cygwin bash
-doesn't correctly handle the batch file in the next step.
-
-With my setup, I have to do
-
-"e:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\vcvars32.bat"
-
-After that, you can either build a release or a debug gc. 
-
-After a successful build, you need to enable gc_pypy.dll for your compiler.
-There are many ways to install this. The following recommendation just
-works without changing your environment variables. I think this is the
-easiest way possible, but this is a matter of taste. What I did is:
-
-nmake CFG="gc - Win32 Release"
-
-After the build, you will find a gc_pypy.dll file in the Release folder.
-Copy this file to c:\windows\system32 or any other folder that is always
-in your PATH variable.
-
-Also, copy Release\gc_pypy.lib to (in my case)
-"e:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\lib";
-
-finally, copy d:\tmp\gc6.5\include to
-"e:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include"
-and rename this folder to "gc", so that "gc/gc.h" is valid.
-
-That's all, folks!
-
-In case of a debug build, replace "Release" by "Debug", and also copy
-gc_pypy.pdb to your lib folder. This allows you to use source-level
-debugging. Please note: If you want to both build the default gc.dll
-and gc_pypy.dll, please delete the Debug resp. Release folders in
-between. The generated .sbr files are in the way.
-
-Please use the above recipe and report any bugs to me.
-In case of trouble, I also can provide you with pre-built dlls.
-Note: We also could have solved this by including the gc source
-into the PyPy build. This may or may not become necessary if something
-changes dramatically, again. As long as this is not needed, I prefer
-this simple solution.
-
-Summary transcript of the steps involved: (please adjust paths)
-
-d:
-cd \tmp\gc6.5
-copy NT_THREADS_MAKEFILE Makefile
-python d:\pypy\dist\pypy\translator\goal\win32\gc_patch_windows.py
-"e:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\vcvars32.bat"
-nmake CFG="gc - Win32 Release"
-copy Release\gc_pypy.dll c:\windows\system32
-copy Release\gc_pypy.lib "e:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\lib"
-mkdir "e:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\gc"
-copy include "e:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\gc"
