In fact, I suspect that if you run 'setup.py build_ext -i' from a pre-built Zope directory that distutils won't even check for a working compiler. If that's the case, we are all set. Otherwise we might need to tweak/override distutils, but no change to zope2install. -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems http://enfoldsystems.com Fax +1 832 201 8856 Office +1 713 942 2377 Ext 214 Skype zopedc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Plone-installers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plone-installers
