From martin at v.loewis.de Tue Jan 06 16:52:48 2004 . . . After setup.py fails to build one extension module, it should continue with the next one. Are you sure tkinter.sl was not build???

However, it might be that the 'make install' part fails, due to the build error. . . . Nowhere in sight--and I can't see that it attempted, either.

I feel terribly clumsy at this stuff. I thought it was going to be easier just to scan setup.py, and say, "ah, yes, right there; it'll compile X right after Y and just before Z, and ..." That you, too, are other-than-entirely-certain about how errors are handled--well, I don't know if that's a good thing, or bad.

So is there no one who's expert with the Makefile? Shall I dig in myself and see what it'll need to work correctly and compre- hensibly?
