Release of Shed Skin 0.0.2: Easy Windows/OSX Installation

[Mark Dufour]

Hi!

Shed Skin is an experimental Python-to-C++ compiler. Along with
GNU/Linux, version 0.0.2 should now also install easily under Windows
2000/XP and OSX. Please give it a try and let me know if there are
still some problems.

If you would like to help me improve Shed Skin, please send me small
code snippets, preferrably extracted from real-life use cases, that
the compiler has problems with.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me out, especially Khalid, Leonardo
and Luis here on python-list, and Denis de Leeuw Duarte right here in
the street

ss.py writes a make file, but unfortunately doesn't detect correctly whether
you need libdl linked in or not. As a result the generated Makefile for the
test includes this for me:

MAINOBJ=test.o
test: $(MAINOBJ) /home/zathras/Documents/shedskin-0.0.2/libss.a
$(CC) $(CCFLAGS)
$(MAINOBJ) /home/zathras/Documents/shedskin-0.0.2/libss.a -lgc -o test

Whereas it would need to be the following because I'm under linux:

MAINOBJ=test.o
test: $(MAINOBJ) /home/michaels/Documents/shedskin-0.0.2/libss.a
$(CC) $(CCFLAGS)
$(MAINOBJ) /home/michaels/Documents/shedskin-0.0.2/libss.a -lgc -ldl -o
test

(The reason I'm not suggesting just throwing in -ldl is because that will
then break on other platforms... You need to detect whether it's needed or
not for the platform it's currently compiling for)

Regards,


Michael.
