Message261009
I've tried following the dev guide (still not successful) to compile a debug version of cpython 2.7 and a couple issues that I run into:
* The VS2010 vs VS2008 confustion - the docs say "most versions before 3.3 use VS2008" - what does it mean by "most"? The current cpython trunk seems to work only on 2010 (with a variety of fun errors).
* VS2010 is hard to download, as is 2008 - direct links would help
* nowhere it's mentioned that you need to run stuff from VS console
* the readme and the devguide disagree on a few points - readme seems to be better, but also not ideal
* the docs don't say how to get svn.exe (that is install tortoiseHG, but then select extra tools from somewhere)
* the build seems to require perl, despite claiming it's not
Other things are misguiding too, but fixing all of the above would be a massive step forward |
