[qmtest] [PATCH] Fix open_temporary_file_fd

[Andrew Funk]

Hi Mark,

This brings up a number of questions for me, so I will try to be
organized:

1. How would I do a ./configure; make; make install with the target
being the C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages directory (if that's what you
mean)?  When I set the prefix under Linux to say /home/afunk/qm, it will
install to /home/afunk/qm/lib/python2.3/site-packages.  So it seems the
directory structures are different.

2. If I go with option 2, where is the Windows-installer binary created?
I ran the script but then didn't know what to do next.

3. I wanted to try reinstalling the stable release under Windows, so I
deleted what I thought were all the relevant folders under the
C:\Python23 directory, then re-ran the installation file.  It created
the qm tree under site-packages, but didn't put anything in the Scripts
directory this time..?  

4. As an alternative to building under Windows, I have my Linux
directories mounted under Windows, so I wonder if I could somehow point
the Windows qmtest.py script to use the Linux installation under
/home/afunk/qm/lib/python2.3/site-packages?

Thanks for your help,
Andy

You should be able to do a normal "./configure; make; make install" 
under Windows using Cygwin, but you want to make sure that the Python 
you're using is the non-Cygwin Python.

You can also use linux and do "python ./setup.py bdist_wininst" to build

a new Windows-installer binary.  (That shold work under Windows too, 
actually).
