Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I built 2.7.11 on Win10 last Jan 16 with MCS v.1500 32 bit. I believe that is VS2008. Besides TortoiseHG, which I think is great, I downloaded SlikSVN minimal client only. I somewhat arbitrarily picked it from some svn list. http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download. A suggestion, with note that minimal client is enough, would not help. Tested install with 'svn help'. With that installed, pcbuild + appropriate args downloads all external dependencies needed. F7 in VS GUI builds Python binary, no Perl needed. The docs, including readme.TXT, are much better than 3 or 4 years ago. (At the time, there was an undocumented requirement, to run tkinter, to move/copy some tcl/tk files. Zack fixed the build script to make manual step unneeded.) Obviously still needs improvement.
