components

Beginning with Python for OpenVMS version 1.5.2-V007 a new build mechanism has been created using the BLDRUN.COM procedure.

The text file CONFIG_MODULES.TXT contains a pre-defined list of modules (=compile units) which can be managed with the Python procedure REGISTER_CONFIG.PY to add or remove so-called 'components' (that means one needs a working Python executable before doing customization with this file!).

The following Python modules are currently available as 'components':

Each file should contain the necessary information on how to register or unregister the component.

BLDRUN.COM, however, does not work with the text files - it is necessary to convert CONFIG_MODULES.TXT and CONFIG_OLB.TXT into indexed sequential form:

$ @ PYTHON_TOOLS:CVT_CONFIG_MODULES.COM
which creates file CONFIG_MODULES.DAT and
$ @ PYTHON_TOOLS:CVT_CONFIG_OLB.COM
which creates file CONFIG_OLB.DAT.

The documentation for BLDRUN.COM describes how to compile all modules of a component.
