+#
+# Top-Level Makefile for Building Python 2.3 for OS/2 using GCC/EMX
+# Originally written by Andrew Zabolotny, <bit@eltech.ru> for Python 1.5.2
+# Modified by Andrew MacIntyre, <andymac@pcug.org.au> for Python 2.3
+#
+# This makefile was developed for use with [P]GCC/EMX compiler any
+# version and GNU Make.
+#
+# The output of the build is a largish Python23.DLL containing the
+# essential modules of Python and a small Python.exe program to start
+# the interpreter. When embedding Python within another program, only
+# Python23.DLL is needed. We also build python_s.a static library (which
+# can be converted into OMF (.lib) format using emxomf tool) and both
+# python.a and python.lib import libraries.  Then the optional 
+# extension modules, which are OS/2 DLLs renamed with a PYD file extension.
+#
+# Recommended build order:
+#   make depend		(if you have makedep)
+#   make all
+#   make lx		(if you have lxlite)
+#   make test		(optional)
+#
