Re: Install Windows x64 -- don't even try

2010-04-05 Thread Christian Hammond
Thanks Mike. That's a good thing to note. Would you mind filing a bug
against our docs for tracking purposes?

A lot of our dependencies are far harder to install on Windows than Linux,
and sadly there's little we can do about this. We generally encourage people
to use a VM with Ubuntu for a Review Board server instead of trying to
install on Windows.

 Hi folks,

 After 2d of pain, I gave up on installing on Windows with 64-bit
 Python.  I was able to get everything but PySVN in place, and that
 broke me.  Some of the issues I experienced:

 1) We use one of several subversion servers that are distributed as
 installation packages.  No development headers are present.
 2) Since there's no 64-bit PySVN executable (nor in pypi), I tried to
 compile it manually.  I downloaded PySVN source, but it requires a
 subversion-devel equivalent system (i.e. headers such to compile
 against).
 3) I downloaded the subversion 1.6.9 source, and put in the PySVN
 Imports/ directory to compile against.
 4) Got PySVN started compiling, but then it needed apr.h, which is a
 dependency package for subversion.  Downloaded the subversion-deps
 package that is with the subversion source.  This version is built
 against an earlier version of Visual Studio.  I downloaded the current
 version from apache.org, and got it built.
 5) Started compiling again, and another unknown header (apu.h, this
 time), another dependency I'd need to tackle as in #4, and I gave up.
 It might have been the last one (knowing my luck), but I decided to
 cut my loses.

 In summary, PySVN kills you on a x64 bit install.  I had the luxury of
 only needing Python on my server for ReviewBoard, so I uninstalled 64-
 bit Python, and installed 32-bit.  Everything is going smoothly now.

 I'd recommend a warning in the Wiki about the PySVN dependency, to
 save future wayfarers time.
