Hi, To compile Python on Windows, there are a few information in the Developer Guide: https://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#windows-compiling
Python 3.5 now requires Visual Studio 2010 *SP1*, or newer Visual Studio: http://bugs.python.org/issue22919#msg233637 I found PCbuild\readme.txt which is not mentionned in the devguide :-/ https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/56f717235c45/PCbuild/readme.txt (at least not on the Windows section of the setup page) I found some clues to build OpenSSL to be able to build the Python ssl module, but I still have issues. Is there a more complete documentation? I found how to install svn.exe, perl.exe and nasm.exe, but not how to install nmake.exe. I don't know the command to build OpenSSL. I don't care of building OpenSSL, my goal is only to build the Python ssl module. Is there a way to install a development version of OpenSSL (.lib files if I remember correctly) from an installer/binary? My draft notes: +Compile CPython on Windows +========================== + +To build the Python ssl extension: + +Need: + +* Visual Studio 2010 SP1 or newer +* CPython source code (default branch: 3.5) +* perl binary: ActivePerl +* svn binary, ex: SilkSVN +* nasm and nmake binaries: compile NASM (install the binary doesn't install nmake) + +Read PCbuild/readme.txt. + +* Build Python (in debug mode) +* Type: PCbuild\get_externals.bat +* Type: PCbuild\win32\python_d.exe PCbuild\prepare_ssl.py externals\openssl-1.0.1j Victor _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
