How to install pyspades from source on win32

Building from source on win32

NOTE: x86 and 32-bit are interchangeable, and if given the option, you should always be installing the 32-bit/x86 versions of these files.

  • Install Python, then add this to your PATH:

    C:\Python27

(if you installed python somewhere else, enter that instead)

  • Install Twisted for Python 2.7

  • Install setuptools

  • Click Start -> Run -> cmd and press Enter to get to the command prompt. Once at the command prompt, type the following and press enter to install zope.interface: python -m easy_install zope.interface

  • Install MinGW32

    During installation, at the screen titled "Select Components", ensure that "C++ Compiler" is checked.

After MinGW is installed and has finished downloading/installing the necessary packages, add these to your PATH:

C:\MinGW\bin\
C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.5.2\

  • Install Cython

  • Install Python Win32 Extensions

  • Open Windows Explorer (right click on the start button, click explore) and open the following file in notepad: C:\Python27\Lib\distutils\cygwinccompiler.py

  • Using the find tool (control+f), search for "-mno-cygwin" (without quotes). Delete all entries you find (there should be 4).

  • Download Mercurial and install it (it should ask you whether or not to automatically add it to your path, make sure that option is ticked).

  • REBOOT!

  • In a CMD, navigate to an appropriate directory (where you want the pyspades folder placed, it can go anywhere you'd like) and type this: hg clone https://pyspades.googlecode.com/hg/ pyspades

  • Go to the new directory 'pyspades'

  • Run build_all_mingw.bat NOTE: You may see several warnings, this is normal.

  • Edit the config.txt in the feature_server folder NOTE: There will only be config.txt.default in the folder before you run it. You can either rename it to config.txt and edit it, or run it as is, and it will create the config.txt for you.

  • Run run_server.bat

Done!
