[issue20265] Bring Windows docs up to date
Kathleen Weaver added the comment: It was Visual Studio that messed up the end of line feeds, it keep telling me that there was a problem but I didn't know what it meant. Erik and I were in #pyladies and he really helped me. As soon as I get done with gym and other mundane errands I will get back on this. I can't get over how helpful and nice everyone is!

Also, if you're having end-of-line issues, I would recommend turning on the Mercurial eol extension (either edit "%userprofile%\Mercurial.ini" manually, or use the Extensions section of File -> Settings... from TortoiseHg Workbench). To work most effectively, you'll need to update to the 'null' revision, then update back to default after turning on eol. That will ensure that most files have \r\n line endings and hg can keep line endings straight for you thereafter. Here's a sample of my Mercurial.ini with some other things you may be interested in: [extensions] ;keep eols straight eol= ;delete untracked files (helps with starting from a clean slate) purge= ;colorize output, including making trailing whitespace visible in diffs color= ;create several clones that share history, useful for keeping ;separate clones per branch without having to pull individually share= [defaults] ;don't try to commit when importing a patch import = --no-commit -- title: Bring Doc/using/windows up to date -> Bring Windows docs up to date ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue20265> ___ -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue20265> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Kathleen Weaver: Current text reads: On Windows, open the solution file PCbuild\pcbuild.sln in Visual Studio, select Debug, and Build ‣ Build Solution. Run Tools\buildbot\external.bat or Tools\buildbot\external-amd64.bat to download and compile 3rd party libraries. While it works correctly, this does generate errors in the build process which can be confusing. This is documented in the read me, and the Getting Started.

[issue17846] Building Python on Windows - Supplementary info
Kathleen Weaver added the comment: I've gone through and followed the online directions. They do allow the person following the directions to "build Python". My question: I assume that isn't sufficient to really build a patch. The readme has directions that includes the information that is below. I haven't gone through those directions yet. My question: Do we want those directions both places? I personally think they should be online, and have the readme refer to the online directions, but what is the thought of the community? I think it is redundant to do it in both places. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue17846> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Kathleen Weaver added the comment: I agree -- so should that be a separate patch since it's in cpython, not devguide? Quoting: Frankly, I don't see much added benefit from the new file. It's mostly duplication of PCbuild/readme.txt, and what little isn't already there should be. I would much rather see a patch making sure PCbuild/readme.txt is up to date, and a link to http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/PCbuild/readme.txt added to the devguide's existing compilation on Windows section. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue17846> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
