[tahoe-dev] Build issue

[FreeStorm .]

Hi Sid,

Maybe we need to start from the begining.

If you don't use Python for another usage as tahoe, you can uninstall
all your Python and pywin32 stuff with add/remove program on your
control panel.

After that, you can remove all Python directories from your c:\
I think you have c:\python25 and c:\python26
(dont remove theses directory before uninstalling properly from add/remove)

You can delete entire allmydata-tahoe-1.6.1 diretory.

After this point you are going to have clean base to start.

So we can start step by step :-)

1) Install Python 2.6  from
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.5/python-2.6.5.msi
2) Install pywin32 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
3) Follow points 1-4 of section "What if that doesn't work?" on page
http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/AdvancedInstall
4) Add c:\python26 and c:\python26\scripts to your environment
variable PATH (same way as point 4 on AdvancedInstall page)

After that we can confirm some points:

5) Open DOS Prompt from: start menu => run => cmd.exe
   and run these command:

a) python -V
=> (capital V) it must return something like: python 2.6.5

b) g++ -v
=> it must return somethink like: gcc version 3.4.5

c) as --version
=> it must return : GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.19.1

Is you don't loose something, you will have Python, and Mingw
correctly installed :-)


Next point, downloading and installaling Tahoe-Lafs.

6) Download and unzip
http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe-lafs/releases/allmydata-tahoe-1.6.1.zip

7) Open DOS Prompt, and go to directory where you unziped
allmydata-tahoe-1.6.1 and run:
(you need an Internet connexion to download and install some Python's packages)

a) python setup.py build
b) python setup.py install
c) python setup.py test
=> To be sure that tahoe-Lafs is good working.



If I don't miss somthing, It will build and install successfully

Hope that help.

Fred
