Dear Paul Grunwald: Thank you for your persistence on this. :-)
Here's some context about how our build system works, or in this case how it fails to work: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/CompileError The dependency which failed to build for you is pycryptopp, which happens to be one that we (especially I) am responsible for maintaining. Now, I'm looking at the pycryptopp buildbots and I see that there are some Windows buildbots that successfully built: Dcoder's Win7-64-py26, FreeStorm's mingw32-py26, and marcusw's cygwin: https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-pycryptopp/waterfall One thing that these all have in common with each other and not with your system is that they are using Python 2.6 and you're using Python 2.7. Hm, according to this mailing list post -- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2010-April/573606.html -- and this blog -- http://blog.victorjabur.com/2011/06/05/compiling-python-2-7-modules-on-windows-32-and-64-using-msvc-2008-express/ -- one cannot build extension modules for Python 2.7 on Windows unless one has a Microsoft compiler -- VS 2008 -- that is no longer available. :-( What a stupid... ... *sigh* Want to try to figure out how to build extension modules with mingw32, mingw-w64, or tdm-gcc? :-) I recently posted a letter to G+ claiming that this was possible, although I haven't done it recently: https://plus.google.com/108313527900507320366/posts/Mvk7rWGXm8o Regards, Zooko _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
