Issues on building gevent on Windows

[Pengkui Luo]

Hi, I have some problems in building gevent-0.13.6 with
libevent-1.4.13 on Windows 7 (64bit). The C compilers I have installed
include mingw32 gcc 4.6.1 and vc2010. Below are my printouts. Can
anybody tell me how to do it?


R:\DOWNLOADS\gevent-0.13.6>python setup.py --libevent ..
\libevent-1.4.13-stable build

running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'gevent.core' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

R:\DOWNLOADS\gevent-0.13.6>python setup.py --libevent ..
\libevent-1.4.13-stable build --compiler=mingw32

running build
running build_py
running build_ext

Thanks!

If you have vc, why use mingw32? What does it says without this option?

You can also try 1.0b1. It has binary installers for windows:

I believe that you want VS2008, or the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5 -- http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11310.

One thing to watch out for: the Windows SDK doesn't put vcvarsall.bat in the right place (%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC). All that vcvarsall.bat does is detect what platform you're targeting and calls the appropriate batch file. For example, for x86, it calls %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat. So, if you go with the Windows SDK, you could just copy a vcvarsall.bat one over from a machine that has VS2008 on it, or hack something else in.

Hope this helps.
