Hello,

I'm trying to install Tahoe on Windows Vista but when I execute "C:\Python27\python setup.py build" I get this error :

Setting up environment to run scripts for the current user...

Already done: associate the filetype .pyscript with Python.File for the current user.

Already done: add .pyscript to the user environment variable PATHEXT.

Already done: add .pyw to the user environment variable PATHEXT.

cc1plus.exe: erreur: unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin'

error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I've installed Python 2.7, mingw-get-inst-20120426, Cygwin last version and done all that is described here :

https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/AdvancedInstall#point9.4

Mingw version :

C:\tahoe-lafs>gcc -v

Utilisation des specs internes.

Thank you for your help

I had success after editing C:\Python27\Lib\distutils\cygwincompiler.py to remove all of the -mno-cygwin options in Windows XP with Python 2.7.

Hm, toto, killyourtv, is there anything that Tahoe-LAFS should do to deal with this issue? I'm inclined to close it as "not our problem".

Replying to zooko:

It seems like a bug in distutils, but maybe it could be worked around in zetuptoolz. If we close this ticket, let's first report the bug in distutils.

I changed wiki/AdvancedInstall to mention the workaround in comment:130528, although I'm not entirely sure it is a good idea:

I'm not sure, tbh. I made my mods after seeing it on a mailing list post somewhere (maybe even tahoe-dev?). What I did may even be a horrible, cringe-worthy idea but it did allow it to proceed and tahoe seemed to work just fine in the afterwards.

Closing this ticket with the newly created "resolution" somebody else's problem. Thanks for the bug report!
