Help building MH from SVN on Win 7?

[Rhynedahll]

I'm trying to follow the instructions on http://www.makehuman.org/node/193
but they seem to be written from the perspective of a Linux user, or, at least, from a command line stand point which is not comfortable for me.

I've muddled through so far, but hang up on this line in the sconstruct:

Code: Select all

   if not (conf.CheckLib('python' + pyver, 'Py_Initialize') and conf.CheckHeader('Python.h')):
        print "The Python" + pyver + " development libraries must be installed"

I've got the header file (Python.h) but I don't exactly understand where it's looking for the function Py-Initialize.

Has anyone built MH with Cmake?

okay i think you may have hit a bit of a problem

did you install EVERYTHING when you installed python 2.7.2 32 bit??
http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2.msi <---- this is a correct file

oh and it may help you to know if you hold down [shift] and then rightclick the folder you need to work in you will get an option to open command window here.

you may also want to reread the instructions and make sure everything is lined up

also things are a bit fiddley as to what goes where (AND WHAT CASE THINGS ARE)

The config.log file should contain detailed information of what went wrong. Scons is the only supported build method.

Hi,

I need your help for building makehuman from svn in Windows 7. I have followed all the steps in the same tutorial:

http://www.makehuman.org/node/193

At the beginning everything worked quite well. However when I close the command line window and I open a new one and try top run

C:\Python27\scons.bat

it does not word anymore the error is:

scons: Reading SConstruct files ...
Checking for C library m... no
Checking for Py_Initialize() in C library python27... no
The Python27 development libraries must be installed

At the begining I did something wrong so I did everything again. When I closed the command line window where I perform the procedure and try in another one, I found the same problem.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance

Look in config.log for detailed errors.
