[M3devel] python build problems

[Coleburn, Randy]

Jay:

I'm still having lots of problems.

I installed python 2.7 on WinXP-32bit and tried upgrade.py against a working cm3 circa 2008.

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\cm3\Sandbox\cm3\scripts\python\upgrade.py", line 4, in <module>
    import pylib
  File "C:\cm3\Sandbox\cm3\scripts\python\pylib.py", line 631, in <module>
    if Target.startswith("NT386"):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

Looking at upgrade.py, it seems the first set of compilations is in the following order:
"import-libs", "m3bundle", "m3middle", "m3quake", "m3objfile",
                            "m3linker", "m3back", "m3front", "sysutils",
                            "cm3", "m3cggen", "mklib", "m3cgcat"

So, I tried to manually follow this order by cd to each folder, removing the NT386, running cm3, then cm3 -ship.  Things go well until I get to m3back, where I get the following error:

C:\cm3\Sandbox\cm3\m3-sys\m3back>cm3

Any suggestions on what to do?
I need to get a working cm3 on both WinXP and Win7 that is current with the HEAD branch.

BTW, it was my understanding that the compilation order was defined in "pkginfo.txt".  Has this changed, or is the file not up-to-date?  Reason I ask is that my RCC_upgradeCM3.cmd used to work fine and it bases the order on pkginfo.txt, yet you remarked in a previous post that I was leaving something out, plus it seems the order in upgrade.py doesn't match what you find in pkginfo.txt.  Please advise.

Thanks,
Randy Coleburn
