Nowhere in sight--and I can't see that it attempted, either.

Ah, that is then caused by prerequisites missing. It is definitely, certainly, absolutely not because earlier modules failed to build.

So is there no one who's expert with the Makefile?

It has nothing to do with the Makefile, either - all happens in a single setup.py invocation.

Shall I dig in myself and see what it'll need to work correctly and compre- hensibly?

You should add print statements

  1. at the beginning of detect_tkinter, to see whether it is invoked, and

  2. Just before the line

self.extensions.append(ext)

in detect_tkinter

If 1 is executed, and 2 is not, then some prerequisites are missing. Trace through the function.
