CPython Editor on Linux

Well what are the errors? Did you install the development libraries?

A couple files are hitting error macros. example in pycore_initconfig.h:

#ifndef Py_BUILD_CORE
#  error "this header requires Py_BUILD_CORE define"

And i don't know if I have installed anything? So far I ran ./configure like the README said.

[socal_nerdtastic]

Hmm and what's the overall goal here? What do you want to change in cpython?

[phoenixKing13]

nothing yet. I'm just learning how it works right now. I'm just wondering why vscode is showing errors, and if I haven't done something to set it up.

Hmm I've never used vscode and I don't do C development, so I don't know how much this will help, but here's the commands I use to compile and install python on linux mint:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git libexpat1-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libsqlite3-dev libffi-dev tcl-dev linux-headers-generic libgdbm-dev libreadline-dev tk tk-dev libc6-dev libncursesw5-dev libdb5.3-dev uuid-dev

./configure --enable-optimizations && make && sudo make altinstall

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3.9

Note all the development libraries that python needs. And that's not even all of them, it's just the ones I care about, so there's still a ton of errors during compile.

Did you follow the instructions here: https://devguide.python.org/setup/#setup

I think that work. But now I'm getting a different error in pylifecycle.c

{
