[Scons-users] Scons based build for cpython

[Antonio Cavallo]

Hi,

I've been putting together a scons based build system for cpython: 
I always wondered why and if it is possible to do that in scons.

The source code is under:

   https://bitbucket.org/cavallo71/fatpython

To test against the lasted cpython source all you have to do is:

    Be sure you have the 2.7 python interpreter (it might work with other versions

    $> hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython
    $> cd cpython
    $> hg clone https://bitbucket.org/cavallo71/fatpython
    
    $> . ./fatpython/env.sh (on Linux and Mac)
    or
    $> .\fatpython\env.bat (on Windows)

    $> scons

This will build the python interpreter + pgen and a single module (_bz2).

The build works in linux and mac while the windows is not ready yet: I need to 
have access to visual studio 2008 to convert the project into something usable 
with scons.


Please let me know what do you thing.

Thanks
