Issue 1183896: PCbuild/readme.txt description not quite right (original) (raw)

PCbuild/readme.txt contains some very useful instructions on obtaining external packages needed to build extensions (zlib, tk, etc), but there is a small error in the instruction as to where these distributions should be placed.

"... download the base packages first and unpack them into siblings of PCbuilds's parent directory; for example, if your PCbuild is .......\dist\src\PCbuild, unpack into new subdirectories of dist."

This should say "if your PCbuild is .......\dist\Python-2.4.1\src\PCbuild"

... because that's what works.
