The Windows build instructions for SWIG portion seems to be incorrect
(You should now see 3 subdirectories in cppForSwig dir:
cryptopp, reorgTest and swig-2.0.4)
The SWIG_compile portion failed because it couldn't find swigwin-2.0.4 folder
Creating temporary file "c:\Users\Janne\BitcoinArmory\BitcoinArmory\cppForSwig\Release\BAT00000C51685384.bat" with contents
[
@echo off
swigwin-2.0.4\swig.exe -c++ -python -classic -outdir ../ -v CppBlockUtils.i
which means you need to download swigwin-2.0.4, NOT swig-2.0.4 like the build instructions say. (I was building on 32-bit Vista)
The build still seems to fail because I have Python 2.7 installed in D:/ instead of C:/
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python27.lib'
EDIT :
I got it farther this time, although it still fails with this error
3>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'cryptlib.lib'
Ugh. I don't know how to setup these things to accommodate non-"standard" configs (such as python being in a different place than C:\Python2X). However, the cryptlib thing should work if you compiled the cryptlib project in MSVS. You should see, a cryptlib/win32/output/release directory in the cppForSwig directory. It should be created, and cryptlib.lib will be in there if you compiled that project.
Maybe I really should do binaries. Leave the compiling to only the people who want to have to develop/modify the project.
Fornit, I just committed the fix for that. I think I accidentally only commited one of two files impl the windows-close fix. It should all be there, now.
(EDIT: I just fixed the swig-vs-swigwin part of the directions on the webpage. Sounds like both of you got caught by that typo. Thanks Matoking)
