Install Darcs (http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/Binaries, "Windows without Cygwin") 1. Add the darcs directory to the search path (see below) 2. Follow the steps in "Building from a tarball" == Building from a tarball == 0. Get Python 2.4 (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.6/) 1. Add the Python to the search path (rough translation from German Windows 2000): Start -> Settings -> System control -> System -> Enhanced -> Environment variables -> System variables: add ";C:\Python25;C:\Python25\Scripts" to the "Path" entry 3. Install win32api for Python 2.5 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018) Note: Build 213 does not work on Windows 2000, Build 212 does. 7. Open the command line interpreter (cmd/command) 8. Get Tahoe from Darcs: darcs get --lazy http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk-hashedformat tahoe 9. cd to tahoe and build Tahoe: python setup.py build 10. Optional: run testcases: python setup.py test Summary on 2009-23-02 on Windows 2000: {{{ Ran 558 tests in 1281.032s FAILED (skips=8, expectedFailures=4, errors=1, unexpectedSuccesses=6, successes= 539) }}} == Running as different user == 0. Create the new user account 1. Run tahoe through "runas": {{{ runas /user:Computer\Tahoeuser "bin\tahoe.exe start C:\tahoe-basedir" }}} 2.
