Getting Started on Windows x64

• Visual Studio 2008
  • For Visual Studio 2010: You need to make the following change in C:\Python27\Lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py. Change line 243 to: toolskey = "VS100COMNTOOLS"
• Python (x64), be sure to download the 64-bit installer
• CodePy, official branch has problems with Windows environments, please use this branch instead.
  • git clone https://github.com/BryanCatanzaro/catanzaro.codepy
• Pytools and its dependencies. The best way to get this is to install easy_install, then do: easy_install pytools
• Numpy, unofficial Windows binaries for Numpy 64-bit
• boost.python, required by CodePy. There are no official pre-compiled Windows 64-bit binaries, so we need to build from source.
  • Extract Boost into a directory on which you have write permissions. Use bootstrap to create the build tool b2.
  • Compile from source: b2 --toolset=msvc-9.0 address-model=64 --build-type=complete stage

In order to connect Boost.Python and CodePy, you need to specify some things in C:\Users\[Username]\.aksetup-defaults.py. On my installation of Windows, I have:

BOOST_INC_DIR = ['C:\\boost_1_48_0']
BOOST_LIB_DIR = ['C:\\boost_1_48_0\\stage\\lib']
BOOST_COMPILER = 'msvc'
BOOST_PYTHON_LIBNAME = ['boost_python-vc90-mt-1_48']
BOOST_THREAD_LIBNAME = ['boost_thread-vc90-mt-1_48']
CXXFLAGS = ['/EHsc']
LDFLAGS = ['/FORCE']

Make sure BOOST_LIB_DIR above is also in your path. Run tests in catanzaro.codepy\tests.

Get asp: git clone git://github.com/shoaibkamil/asp.git

Build, install, then run run_tests.sh
