Installing from source

Install and configure a C compiler: MinGW

Amara2 has C extensions so you need a C compiler if you want to install from source (http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#building-extensions-tips-and-tricks).

If you want to use Microsoft Compilers, read Jeremy Kloth's notes: http://cvs.4suite.org/viewcvs/4Suite/PC/README.txt

• Grab last release from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw

• Run the file to start the installation process
• Keep all values at their defaults and select at least next components:
  • MinGW base tools
  • g++ compiler
  • MinGW Make
• Add the C:\mingw\bin directory to the system PATH
• Create (or edit) a .cfg file for distutils (distutils.cfg) eg: C:\Python25\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg with this content:

[build]
compiler=mingw32
