Great to hear about. I am currently only building on Windows 10 so a Windows 7 build report would be most welcome.

Please take a look at the following link for the reason it cannot be used: https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/hosts/windows.html#python and the specifics about the version matrix is here: https://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder/tree/source-builder/sb/windows.py#n136 The windows.py module in the RSB attempts to check for valid versions and raises an error if it sees a version of python that it cannot use. > But when I'm checking the environment using `source-builder/sb-check`, > > error message " error: failed to load Windows host support " shows up. > This looks like a bug in the handling of the load. I suspect the windows.py's load() call is detecting your python will not work and its attempting to report the error however it is not being cleanly handled. > So source-builder/sb/options.py line 600 went wrong. > overrides = None > if os.name == 'nt': > try: > import windows > overrides = windows.load() > host_windows = True > host_posix = False > except: > *raise error.general('failed to load Windows host support')* > elif os.name == 'posix': That code looks wrong and needs to be cleaned up to: overrides = None if os.name == 'nt': try: import windows overrides = windows.load() host_windows = True host_posix = False except error.general as ge: raise error.general('failed to load Windows host support: %s' % (ge)) except: *raise error.general('failed to load Windows host support')* elif os.name == 'posix': Can you please try this?
