Okay, Trying that now... I did look there before, but I just looked at version numbers, not dates, and I was looking for 1.5, not 1.4.1-r4026. Anway, I removed everything I had installed (all python packages, mingw, python itself), then installed python 2.5.4 and pywin32-214. I wish I'd had the foresight to snapshot the VM after installing SP2, but I didn't. After I get through this, I'll start over again, with a fresh XP install. Then I unpacked the latest snapshot and ran the build. Got a warning on the zope.interface install saying that an optional extension could not be compiled. Doh! Downloaded a tarball for pycryptopp, not an egg. It said: ----------------- Processing dependencies for allmydata-tahoe==1.4.1-r4026 Searching for pycryptopp>=0.5.15 Reading http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/deps/tahoe-dep-sdists/ Reading http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/deps/tahoe-dep-eggs/ Best match: pycryptopp 0.5.15 Downloading http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/deps/tahoe-dep-sdists/pycryptopp-0 .5.15.tar.gz Processing pycryptopp-0.5.15.tar.gz ------------------ So it appears it looked for an egg, but got the tarball. Ah ha! I looked on that page and there is no egg for python 2.5 win32. There is for python 2.6. I'm off to try that. I'd rather use 2.6 anyway; I only used 2.5 because that's what the installation directions said. > > 5. Opened a cmd.exe window. Went to c:\tahoe and ran "python > > setup.py build".

Adding paths on Windows is a PITA. And I think maybe I needed to add something else, which caused my trouble building openssl. A library path, maybe.
