Hi, I currently try to install Zope3-4.0c1 on a windows machine, without any success for now. What I need is an installation that includes basically all packages that are in the tarball into the python path. I tried the following:
1) Tarball: Here, install.py fails due to some compiler problems - it suggests to specify "-c mingw32", however, when I do so, install.py complains that it does not know this "-c mingw32" option. Something like "python install.py build_ext -cmingw32" works, it seems that all needed packages are correctly compiled. When I try a "python install.py install" afterwards, it once again complains that it needs mingw32. So I'm stuck.
Ok, thanks to a helpful hint, I was able to solve it. One has to create a file "pydistutils.py" in a directory, which is specified in an environment variable "HOME" with the following content: [build] compiler=mingw32 Then the "python install.py install" in the tarball worked. Nevertheless, it would be optimal, if "install.py" is adapted in a way so that "-c mingw32" works...
