Installing LFS 0.7 on windows 7 for development

[beefybailey]

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all your help with the post on finding a new host.

I am fairly new to Django and would like to play around with it a bit more and maybe contribute to the core so i am trying to work out how to install on Windows.

I looked in the group history and none of the previous questions seemed to have got anywhere, can anyone point me in the direction of a guide for setting this up?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Have you tried the installation with the default installer: 

    http://docs.getlfs.com/en/latest/introduction/installation.html

If yes, which error(s) are you getting?

Regards

Kai,

Thanks for that, i thought for some reason these instructions wouldnt work on windows, but i understand how you can now.

I have installed python2.7 and added to path etc, installed mysql.

When i run the bin\buildout.exe i get this error ...

error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

An error occurred when trying to install Pillow 1.7.5. Look above this message f

or any errors that were output by easy_install.

While:

  Installing django.

  Getting distribution for 'Pillow==1.7.5'.

Error: Couldn't install: Pillow 1.7.5

And i cant proceed to the next step of running the syncdb as django isnt recognised.

Any advice?

Thanks again.

Mark

Ok, i managed to work out that the " vcvarsall.bat" error was because i had VS 2010 Express installed and not 2008 Express :)

The problem is i am now getting this problem when it runs easy_install ...

Anyone got any suggestions or has anyone managed to get it working on windows?

I would try to install PIL with the Windows installer:

http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/

You might have to remove the Pillow from the django-lfs dependencies
as well.
