[tahoe-dev] Windows XP build errors 1.8

[slush]

Hi,

32 bit WinVista home
TahoeLAFS 1.8.0, official ZIP download from site
Mingw 5.1.6 (build 20100909)

Installation:
1) Installed Mingw
2) Updated Mingw (where I selected g++ to install)
3) Unzip tahoe zip to c:\tahoe180
4) Started c:\python26\python.exe setup.py build in tahoe180 directory

Installation was succesfull.

Started tahoe create-client

Then updated tahoe.cfg (nickname, introducer) and started tahoe using tahoe
start. Start was OK

Then went to http://localhost:3456 and tahoe crashed.

Hope this helps.

Marek
