CcPublisher Prerequisites: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:10, 29 June 2006

This page describes the prerequisites needed to develop ccPublisher. We try to maintain pure Python within our Subversion repository (either with a vendor tag or svn:external). However, there are a handful of dependencies which are better built on individual systems or installed from binaries.

Python 2.4
- Windows: http://python.org/download/
- Mac OS X: http://undefined.org/python/
- Linux: http://python.org/download/ (usually installed by default, or available in your distributinos official package repository)
pywin32 Python Extensions for the Win32 API (Windows only)
- http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html
wxPython Unicode build required to properly support non-ANSI characters in any input field. So really, just use the Unicode build.
- Windows
- Mac OS X (10.3 and later)
- Linux: use a distro-specific package or see the wxPython download page for other options
elementtree
- Note: This is a change as of 8 February 2006 (see why ElementTree for details on the switch from libxml2)
- http://effbot.org/downloads/#elementtree

Developing ccPublisher

Depending on your platform, your development model may vary slightly. See the appropriate platform-specific page:

-== Setting Up a ccPublisher Sandbox ==
-A sandbox is a checkout of the ccPublisher sourcecode from Subversion.  Setting up a sandbox lets you work with the most recent features, as well as work on the source code yourself.  For background on how the sourcecode is organized see [[ccPublisher 2 Architecture]].
-As of 8 February 2006, a C compiler is no longer required to build ccPublisher 2 or P6.

-=== Getting Started ===
-Before you begin building you will need to check out the source code.  ccPublisher uses [http://subversion.tigris.org Subversion] for source control.  To check out the most recent copy of the code, execute the following command:
-  $ svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/cctools/publisher/trunk ccpublisher
-This will check out the entire required source tree, including dependencies from the Zope 3 project, into the <code>ccpublisher</code> directory.
-=== Running ===
-Once you have the dependencies listed above installed, run <code>main.py</code> to start ccPublisher:
-  $ python ccp.py
