README

This directory contains files for the RISC OS port of Python. For more information about RISC OS see http://www.riscos.com/ .

This port is currently being maintained by Dietmar Schwertberger, dietmar@schwertberger.de .

On http://www.schwertberger.de you may find compiled versions and libraries as well as RISC OS specific documentation and extensions.

========================================================================== Compiling:

  1. Extract Files from archive directory 'Python-…' to a directory named '!Python'.
  2. Use a tool like Rename to change filenames from '/[ch]' into '[ch].'.
  3. Create missing directories with 'amu cdirs'.
  4. Build with 'amu'.

I've only tested Acorn/Norcroft C/C++ 5.30 and amu.

Python now uses the 32 bit libraries from Pace as well as the 32 bit version of OSLib.

You will also need some additional libraries:

DLK (patched version) http://www.schwertberger.de OSLib http://www.mk-net.demon.co.uk/oslib

zlib (optional) ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ expat (optional) http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ (makefile and config.h available from http://www.schwertberger.de/riscos_expat.zip
