The amount of errors in the solution during the windows build was surprising to me - I interpreted it as if python was not built correctly. Upon further inspection, just some extension modules were not built due to missing dependencies, and the interpreter runs without problems. To clarify this in the devguide, I suggest the attached changes.

3 comments on the patch: 1) I don't think this should be mentioned in the quick start; 2) You added a link to the build_dependencies target in the build_dependencies section, why? 3) Hyphens in rst should be done with '--', not '-'.

I’m also not sure of what you meant with “the *python* package”.

Thanks for your responses! @Ezio: 1) I can see your point. On the other hand, I also think it is helpful to have a prominent note on this - the first thing people see after following the instructions is a huge list of build errors (see the bottom of this post) - build errors that are not really 'build errors' in the normal sense, because they just mean several optional subprojects were not built. In any case, I've removed the text from this patch. Maybe a better solution would be to add a '(details)' link to each step in the Quick Start that refers to the relevant section in the devguide? 2) Sorry; it looks that way from the patch - but it's actually in 'Windows' section - which is about a screen down from the 'Build dependencies' section on my computer. The patch in this post is a .diff instead of the hg patch format, hoping that Rietveld will pick it up then. 3) Fixed. @Éric: That should have been 'project', to use the VS 'solution' with 'projects' (that each build one library/executable) terminology - in this case, it refers to the project that builds python.exe (called 'python') inside the solution (called 'PCBuild'). In this patch 'project' is used consistently, although I welcome alternative wordings. ------/ error output /------ Error 3 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'bzlib.h': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\Modules\_bz2module.c 12 1 _bz2 Error 5 error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\bzip2-1.0.6\blocksort.c': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\c1 _bz2 Error 6 error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\bzip2-1.0.6\bzlib.c': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\c1 _bz2 Error 7 error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\bzip2-1.0.6\compress.c': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\c1 _bz2 Error 8 error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\bzip2-1.0.6\crctable.c': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\c1 _bz2 Error 9 error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\bzip2-1.0.6\decompress.c': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\c1 _bz2 Error 10 error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\bzip2-1.0.6\huffman.c': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\c1 _bz2 Error 11 error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\bzip2-1.0.6\randtable.c': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\c1 _bz2 Error 21 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/evp.h': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\Modules\_hashopenssl.c 40 1 _hashlib Error 4 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'lzma.h': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\Modules\_lzmamodule.c 19 1 _lzma Error 15 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlite3.h': No such file or directory c:\users\valhallasw\documents\visual studio 2010\cpython\modules\_sqlite\connection.h 33 1 _sqlite3 Error 16 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlite3.h': No such file or directory c:\users\valhallasw\documents\visual studio 2010\cpython\modules\_sqlite\connection.h 33 1 _sqlite3 Error 17 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlite3.h': No such file or directory c:\users\valhallasw\documents\visual studio 2010\cpython\modules\_sqlite\connection.h 33 1 _sqlite3 Error 18 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlite3.h': No such file or directory c:\users\valhallasw\documents\visual studio 2010\cpython\modules\_sqlite\connection.h 33 1 _sqlite3 Error 19 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlite3.h': No such file or directory c:\users\valhallasw\documents\visual studio 2010\cpython\modules\_sqlite\connection.h 33 1 _sqlite3 Error 20 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlite3.h': No such file or directory c:\users\valhallasw\documents\visual studio 2010\cpython\modules\_sqlite\connection.h 33 1 _sqlite3 Error 22 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlite3.h': No such file or directory c:\users\valhallasw\documents\visual studio 2010\cpython\modules\_sqlite\connection.h 33 1 _sqlite3 Error 14 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/rsa.h': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\Modules\_ssl.c 91 1 _ssl Error 12 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'tcl.h': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\Modules\_tkinter.c 66 1 _tkinter Error 13 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'tcl.h': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\Modules\tkappinit.c 16 1 _tkinter Error 1 error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\sqlite-3.7.12\sqlite3.c': No such file or directory C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\c1 sqlite3 Error 2 error MSB3073: The command "cd "C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\" "C:\Users\valhallasw\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\cpython\PCbuild\python_d.exe" build_ssl.py Release Win32 -a " exited with code 1.

I also think this would be worth a note. May I propose a patch?
msg167248 - (view) Author: Chris Jerdonek (chris.jerdonek) * (Python committer) Date: 2012-08-02 19:46
I am attaching a proposed patch for this issue. I also did not know whether the errors were normal when building with Windows for the first time.
