Build Instructions
------------------
On Unix, Linux, BSD, macOS, and Cygwin::
Typthon uses CMake as its build system. On Unix, Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows::
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .
ctest --output-on-failure
sudo cmake --install .
This will install Typthon as ``typthon3``.
This will install Typthon as ``typthon``.
You can pass many options to the configure script; run ``./configure --help``
to find out more. On macOS case-insensitive file systems and on Cygwin,
the executable is called ``typthon.exe``; elsewhere it's just ``typthon``.
You can pass many options to CMake; run ``cmake --help`` or see the
`CMake documentation <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/>`_ to find out more.
Building a complete Typthon installation requires the use of various
additional third-party libraries, depending on your build platform and
configure options. Not all standard library modules are buildable or
usable on all platforms. Refer to the
`Install dependencies <https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building.html#build-dependencies>`_
section of the `Developer Guide`_ for current detailed information on
dependencies for various Linux distributions and macOS.
Building with different build types
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On macOS, there are additional configure and build options related
to macOS framework and universal builds. Refer to `Mac/README.rst
<https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Mac/README.rst>`_.
CMake supports several build types through the ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`` option:
On Windows, see `PCbuild/readme.txt
<https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/PCbuild/readme.txt>`_.
- ``Release`` - Optimized build for production use
- ``Debug`` - Build with debug symbols for debugging
- ``RelWithDebInfo`` - Release build with debug information
- ``MinSizeRel`` - Optimized for size
To build Windows installer, see `Tools/msi/README.txt
<https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Tools/msi/README.txt>`_.
Example::
If you wish, you can create a subdirectory and invoke configure from there.
For example::
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build .
mkdir debug
cd debug
../configure --with-pydebug
make
make test
Out-of-source builds
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(This will fail if you *also* built at the top-level directory. You should do
a ``make clean`` at the top-level first.)
CMake encourages out-of-source builds. You can create multiple build directories
for different configurations::
To get an optimized build of Typthon, ``configure --enable-optimizations``
before you run ``make``. This sets the default make targets up to enable
Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) and may be used to auto-enable Link Time
Optimization (LTO) on some platforms. For more details, see the sections
below.
Profile Guided Optimization
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PGO takes advantage of recent versions of the GCC or Clang compilers. If used,
either via ``configure --enable-optimizations`` or by manually running
``make profile-opt`` regardless of configure flags, the optimized build
process will perform the following steps:
The entire Typthon directory is cleaned of temporary files that may have
resulted from a previous compilation.
An instrumented version of the interpreter is built, using suitable compiler
flags for each flavor. Note that this is just an intermediary step. The
binary resulting from this step is not good for real-life workloads as it has
profiling instructions embedded inside.
After the instrumented interpreter is built, the Makefile will run a training
workload. This is necessary in order to profile the interpreter's execution.
Note also that any output, both stdout and stderr, that may appear at this step
is suppressed.
The final step is to build the actual interpreter, using the information
collected from the instrumented one. The end result will be a Typthon binary
that is optimized; suitable for distribution or production installation.
Link Time Optimization
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Enabled via configure's ``--with-lto`` flag. LTO takes advantage of the
ability of recent compiler toolchains to optimize across the otherwise
arbitrary ``.o`` file boundary when building final executables or shared
libraries for additional performance gains.

Documentation
-------------
`Documentation for Typthon 3.14 <https://docs.python.org/3.14/>`_ is online,
updated daily.
Typthon is a lightweight runtime system. For usage information, run::
It can also be downloaded in many formats for faster access. The documentation
is downloadable in HTML, PDF, and reStructuredText formats; the latter version
is primarily for documentation authors, translators, and people with special
formatting requirements.
typthon --help
For information about building Typthon's documentation, refer to `Doc/README.rst
<https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/README.rst>`_.
To see the version::
typthon --version
Testing
-------
To test the interpreter, type ``make test`` in the top-level directory. The
test set produces some output. You can generally ignore the messages about
skipped tests due to optional features which can't be imported. If a message
is printed about a failed test or a traceback or core dump is produced,
something is wrong.
To test Typthon, run ``ctest`` in the build directory::
By default, tests are prevented from overusing resources like disk space and
memory. To enable these tests, run ``make buildbottest``.
cd build
ctest --output-on-failure
If any tests fail, you can re-run the failing test(s) in verbose mode. For
example, if ``test_os`` and ``test_gdb`` failed, you can run::
The test suite will produce output for any failing tests. If a test fails
or produces unexpected output, something is wrong.
make test TESTOPTS="-v test_os test_gdb"
To run tests with more verbose output::
ctest --output-on-failure --verbose
To run specific tests, use the ``-R`` option with a regex pattern::
ctest -R typthon_runtime
If the failure persists and appears to be a problem with Typthon rather than
your environment, you can `file a bug report
<https://github.com/python/cpython/issues>`_ and include relevant output from
that command to show the issue.

output from the test command to show the issue.
Installing multiple versions
----------------------------
On Unix and Mac systems if you intend to install multiple versions of Typthon
using the same installation prefix (``--prefix`` argument to the configure
script) you must take care that your primary Typthon executable is not
overwritten by the installation of a different version. All files and
directories installed using ``make altinstall`` contain the major and minor
version and can thus live side-by-side. ``make install`` also creates
``${prefix}/bin/typthon3`` which refers to ``${prefix}/bin/typthon3.X``. If you
intend to install multiple versions using the same prefix you must decide which
version (if any) is your "primary" version. Install that version using
``make install``. Install all other versions using ``make altinstall``.
If you want to install multiple versions of Typthon, you can use different
installation prefixes with CMake's ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` option::
For example, if you want to install Typthon 2.7, 3.6, and 3.14 with 3.14 being the
primary version, you would execute ``make install`` in your 3.14 build directory
and ``make altinstall`` in the others.
mkdir build-3.14
cd build-3.14
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/typthon-3.14
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --install .
This allows you to have multiple versions installed side-by-side in different
directories.
