Re: [Ltib] Ltib + Python

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Tobias,

Welcome to the list.

I don't think you need to do any of this.  If you do a:

./ltib --configure

and then just select the Python package all the dependent packages
should be selected and Python will get built.

FYI:  I've recently merged out to cvs, so that may be a better starting
point.

Also a word of warning about Python, although the basic Python seems to
work, I think many of the modules are not built right (I remember seen a
bunch of warnings go by as it built).

Regards, Stuart
