Per my email on core-mentorship, the instructions for compiling CPython on Windows at https://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#windows are good, however I did have one issue where the dev guide didn't help. During the link step, I got this error: LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt It took me a while to figure out how to fix it. I found this question on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10888391/error-link-fatal-error-lnk1123-failure-during-conversion-to-coff-file-inval The first part of the answer didn't help (because incremental linking is already disabled). But the second part, kinda tucked away there, is what fixed it for me -- simply installing Visual Studio 2010 SP1 here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23691 After this, I restarted my PC and it linked fine. So I suggest a small addition to the dev guide to mention this -- adding the following paragraph after the "Python 3.3 and later" paragraph: ----- You'll also need to install the Visual Studio `Service Pack 1 (SP1) <http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23691>`_. If you don't install this service pack, you may receive errors like the following during linking: ``LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt``. ----- Patch attached. |

Cool, thanks for applying. Out of curiosity, how often is the online devguide HTML updated? |

I'm not sure; I expect your change to be live within a day, probably sooner. |
