= Preliminaries for Building Python / Sage on Windows =

This wiki is a repository for my notes on software / scripts I needed or used to get Python/Sage building under windows.

== Compiler / Development Environment ==
1. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008

== Other stuff ==
1. [[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/|GnuWin32]]
 To get access to gzip/tar, I downloaded those packages. You can also just download all the packages.
 All the packages get installed by default to ''''''%ProgramFiles%\GnuWin32\'''''', and the .exe files reside in ''''''%ProgramFiles%\GnuWin32\bin\''''''

1. Subversion Client
  I downloaded mine from [[http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/subversion/]].

1. Set up some scripts to help yourself.
  Make a windows shell script to setup your environment.
  Make a file named something like ''''''%USERPROFILE%\my_sage_env.cmd''''''.
  A good one to get started is something like:
{{{
echo off
cls
echo "Running CMD w/ special environment variables set..."
set PATH=%PATH%;%ProgramFiles%\GnuWin32\bin;%ProgramFiles%\CollabNet Subversion Client
echo on
}}}
  Make a shortcut to ''''''%SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe''''''. Then right click, select properties and on the Shortcut Tab, edit the Target field to:
{{{
D:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K %USERPROFILE%\my_sage_env.cmd
}}}
