[tahoe-dev] Python beginner trying to build for developmenttesting

Thanks Peter,

Now correct me if I am wrong, this would mean that the source at:
http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/releases/allmydata-tahoe-1.5.0.zip is
really not geared for a full windows build?

Also, this windows build is pretty much identical in usage as per the
documentation for the above linked source?

(in regards to setting up nodes, configuring their type, creating a
introducer node, etc)

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

   The project now has source code available for a full Windows build, 
but the documentation is not really complete.

http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client/wiki

   Feel free to browse and see how we built an XP/Vista installer and 
also used py2exe.
