I am trying to build python from source on an older machine running win32 XP SP3.
Apparently the providers of prebuilt win32 versions no longer support XP.
I have Visual Studio 8 installed. It compiles and links most components successfully,
but some source folders/files are missing:
sqlite3-3.6.21
bzip2-1.0.6
tcl.h (in tkinter)
openssl
berkeley db-4.7.25.0
I can do without berkeley db and tkinter, but sqlite3 may be useful, and bzip may be essential.
Are the sources available from python.org or do I have to round them up from various developer
websites?
