Tried this myself. Got as far as cloning most current source, and almost successfully built beancount. I get an error when linking though:
-3.6\Release\beancount/parser\_parser.cp36-win_amd64.lib LINK : warning LNK4001: no object files specified; libraries used LINK : warning LNK4068: /MACHINE not specified; defaulting to X86 LINK : fatal error LNK1159: no output file specified error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\BIN\\[...snip...] x86_amd64\\link.exe' failed with exit status 1159 On Thursday, July 6, 2017 at 2:23:56 AM UTC+2, rayalan wrote: > > New issue 173: Tweak to work with Windows 10 + VisualStudio 2015 + Python > 3.6 > > https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/173/tweak-to-work-with-windows-10-visualstudio > > > rayalan: > > So it turns out that it's fairly trivial to get a working install with > Python3.6 + Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10 (and I presume other > configurations). > > (The long story is that I've been looking for something like beancounter, > but would like decent Windows support and didn't want to deal with cygwin > etc. So I said "How hard can this be to ignore all the instructions for how > to do a Windows build and do it the Python way?"
