any tutorial for compiling pypy on windows?
Hi All I spent almost three hours for compiling pypy on my windows 7 and got nothing. During the period of translating, I saw many errors about no file "expat.h", "zlib.h" sth like that. I have tried to located those files on different paths but it still failed. I have searched on google a bit however there is only one post which give a brief introduction how to compile pypy 1.4 on windows. It is kinda outdated and obscure. At least I want to know where I can locate those third-party dependencies correctly so that translator can find them.Thanks. Regards gelin yan
It's been a while since I set this up, so I'm hazy on some of the details. Pypy builds on windows may look for dependencies in other locations but the way I had recommended to me and which worked was parallel to the pypy checkout. For example I have: c:\work\pypy | |- bzip2-1.0.5 |- expat-2.0.1 |- gc-7.1 |- openssl-0.9.8q |-pypy ( this is the pypy working tree ) |-zlib-1.2.3 It has been a while since I tried so the exact versions may be incorrect. The other thing that I had trouble with was the version of the Visual C++ compiler. You need to use the same version that was used to compile the python interpreter you use to do the translation. For python 2.6 and 2.7 this is visual C++ 2008 which is difficult to obtain. You can get the express version (which worked for me) here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2008-editions/express Good luck and try asking on freenode in #pypy, the one or two windows guys are helpful when they are around. -Chris On Mon, Jul 30, 2012 at 5:09 AM, gelin yan <dynamicgl@gmail.com> wrote:
