Dear friends, I am experimenting with the buildout-based Windows install for Plone.
One of the things I am trying to install is the LDAP support. So I add to the eggs and zcml sections of the [instance] part the plone.app.ldap string. The problem is that when buildout gets to the part of installing the dependecies, it tries to install the python-ldap package. It downloads the source and tries to compile it, but then it throws the following message: > error: Setup script exited with error: Python was built with Visual Studio > 2003; > > extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible > binaries. > Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin > installed, > you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py. > An error occured when trying to install python-ldap 2.3.5.Look above this > messag > e for any errors thatwere output by easy_install. > I tried to easy_install python-ldap separately beforehand, but if I just use the "basic" form of easy install (supplying only the python-ldap package name) it would give me the same error message - for I understand easy_install tries to download the sources from the CheeseShop and compile it. I tried to download the binary egg from http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/download.shtml (the .eggs link), and install it using easy_install. But the problem would be that they only have a binary for the 2.3.4 version of python-ldap, which is not the latest one as listed in the Cheese Shop. So, if I buildout installing the binary for 2.3.4, easy_install would try to install again the latest version and the "no Visual Studio" error would be thrown. They have the binary MSI installer at http://www.osuch.org/python-ldap, but it is only for python 2.5 (and the Windows buildout installer for Plone installs Python 2.4.4) So, I guess that one solution would be installing a downloaded binary for python 2.4.4 from http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/download.shtml and trying to tell buildout that the 2.3.4 version of python-ldap is sufficient... But I have no idea on how and whether that can be done. Can anyone give me a hand on this?
