Did you attempt to follow the > directions on that page For linux, yes, and it worked as expected for etch and ubuntu ( for Sarge it's another point, as I had to install manually python2.4 and some dependancies, and find a compatible version of twisted, and patch some files in twisted, as there is a bug in this version...).
For Windows, the problem is : which make to use ? cygwin one ? gnuwin32 one ? or some other.... Again, which compiler ? standalone MinGW ? CygWin one ? VCxx ? and again, which shell , cmd ?, cygwin's bash ? Maybe you have to be more explicit, particularly for linux users, that aren't necessarly aware of Win32 subtilities :) Or provide a windows binary installer !

I will try the process on a fresh one, but before that i have to know exactly what are exactly the dev tools to install :) regards, Denis _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
