OK, tonight's changes were worth another code snapshot. You'll find it
on my Starship page, at:
http://starship.python.net/~gward/python/distutils.html
Distutils code snapshots will be distributed from there until further
notice (ie., until I get back write access to python.org!).
Changes:
* minor tweakage to bdist_wininst.py: please try it out and make
sure I didn't make any stupid typos
* added C source for Thomas' installer in "misc" -- note that this is
*not* yet in CVS, as I was (and am) unsure of the right way to
handle DOS text files -- have to check the CVS book tomorrow
* added Lyle Johnson's bcppcompiler.py to support Borland C++
Note that bcppcompiler.py doesn't actually work: Lyle reports a very odd
problem when spawning the linker. I'm sure he'd gladly welcome
debugging help, and I'd really like to see support for Borland's
compiler working too. See the comment I added to the source for
details.
Please, everyone bash this code mercilessly. I'm planning to release
Distutils 0.9 tomorrow or Thursday night, so that there's a real release
out there a few days before Guido release Python 1.6b1 -- that way, if
any real bone-headed mistakes have slipped in, we have a chance to fix
'em.
