Hi, I used to be able to build a Windows package on a Unix machine. However
now I can neither get it to work on a Mac or a Ubuntu machine.

I'll probably try to install Python & git on a Windows machine and get the
build to run there.

Can you install via normal Python packages in the mean time?

Hi Christopher,

Would you mind expanding on "install via normal Python packages"?

I "kind of" got it to work, not sure if it's installed or not.
I basically
1) moved the whole cjklib-xxxx folder to Python directory
2) Start python, go to cjklib-xxxx directory
enter these:
from cjklib import dbconnector
from sqlalchemy import select
db = dbconnector.getDBConnector()
from cjklib import characterlookup

I got what I needed for now, cjk.getStrokeCount. But not entirely sure if
what I did was at all correct in terms of proper installation.

Many thanks,
Kevin

According to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1449494/how-do-i-install-python-packages-on-windows
you can add C:\Python27\Scripts to your path and then use easy_install for
installing packages: "easy_install cjklib" should then hopefully do the
trick.
