[issue21907] Update Windows build batch scripts

David Bolen added the comment: Just thought I'd add a note here that after the most recent changes, my buildbots also appear to be back to quicker hg pulls rather than clones at the start of the process (see msg222592). Still not sure why that behavior changed, but we're back to the previous

[issue21907] Update Windows build batch scripts

Zachary Ware added the comment: After the last round of changes, the buildbots appear to be mostly happy. If anybody else wants to backport the changes, I'd be happy to review and commit, but I'll leave the backporting itself to whoever wants to do it. In the meantime, closing the issue. --

David Bolen added the comment: While troubleshooting an issue with test_distutils consistently failing on my XP buildbot, I narrowed it down to the test.bat change to use run_tests.py. I don't yet know fully what's happening, but after replacing the new test.bat with the older version (that c

Ingolf Becker added the comment: This should now be the correct way. I did not need to touch build.bat indeed. I got confused by all the different combinations! I have removed the calls from build_pgo.bat to build.bat and changed the it to a native x64 build - the PGO requires the code to be ru

Zachary Ware added the comment: As you can probably tell, I wasn't on a machine where I could test build_pgo.bat before I committed changes to it (oops). It looks like your patch is reversed, would you mind fixing it? I can tell you it will need to change, though; build.bat needs to use 'x86_

Zachary Ware added the comment: Thanks for getting the XP bot running again, it looks like it's now having issues with how the tests are now run (some issue with how sys.stdin is set up in a subprocess); I'm not sure if that should be fixed by reverting back to not using run_tests.py, or fixin

[issue21907] Update Windows build batch scripts

David Bolen added the comment: I'm seeing an apparent side-effect of the new clean script (or it seems to correlate). Since it started running, the Windows buildbots (both 7 and XP) seem to always perform a full clone of the master repository for each build rather than just a pull/update. Th

[issue21907] Update Windows build batch scripts

David Bolen added the comment: Ok, the last spurt of exceptions on the XP buildbot in the 3.x branch were all related to the fact that somehow the .hg folder in the 3.x branch build tree was missing. The rest of the build files seemed present. I've removed the build tree completely to let a

David Bolen added the comment: Interesting - it's got a "Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger" dialog on the screen for an unhandled win32 exception in the compiler (cl.exe). That's a dialog my pop-up AutoIt script wasn't expecting, so I've added it to the other (RTL error) checks, and it'll cl

[issue21907] Update Windows build batch scripts

Zachary Ware added the comment: The XP buildbot seems to have choked on this change, I suspect because of the 'clean' script exiting with a non-zero error code. I'm not certain why it can't recover, though. David, can you tell what's going on with it? -- nosy: +db3l

Zachary Ware added the comment: With a vote and a half in favor, I'll go ahead with this probably later today. There is one change needed to the `clean` script; the `hg purge` call should ignore Lib/test/data to avoid downloading the codecmaps test files every time. I may backport to 3.4 and

Steve Dower added the comment: Looks pretty good. I'm happy to see more move into PCBuild - ideally, people building a Python release should never have to look anywhere else. buildmsi.bat can probably go away completely if the buildbots aren't using it. 3.5 will eventually have a .wixproj to b

[issue21907] Update Windows build batch scripts

New submission from Zachary Ware: I am aware of a few open issues with the build scripts provided for Windows (both the Tools/buildbot scripts and the .bat files provided in PCbuild), such as #9973 and #9822, and there are some other issues that bother me but that I haven't opened issues for.
