| Here's how I installed hg-git on Windows using the MinGW compiler. | |
| PREPARE | |
| ------- | |
| - Install Python (http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads) | |
| - Install the Python package manager, setuptools (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools) | |
| - Install the MinGW installer (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get/) | |
| - Install the C compiler, MinGW gcc, and a utility, pexports, to help create the import library | |
| > mingw-get install gcc | |
| > mingw-get install mingw-utils | |
| Create an import library for MinGW gcc (http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BuildingOnWindows) | |
| > cd c:\python26\libs | |
| > pexports c:\windows\system32\python26.dll > python26.def | |
| > dlltool -C -d python26.def -l libpython26.a | |
| > nm libpython26.a # shows you the exported symbols with "I" (as import symbol) | |
| - Configure the package manager to use the new C compiler | |
| In C:\Python26\Lib\distutils\, create distutils.cfg with this content: | |
| [build] | |
| compiler=mingw32 | |
| INSTALL (http://hg-git.github.com/) | |
| ----------------------------------- | |
| > easy_install hg-git | |
| > cd %USERPROFILE% | |
| > notepad .hgrc | |
| [extensions] | |
| hgext.bookmarks = | |
| hggit = C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\hg_git-0.2.6-py2.6.egg\hggit | |
| USE (http://hg-git.github.com/) | |
| ------------------------------- | |
| $ cd hg-git # (a Mercurial repository) | |
| $ hg bookmark -r default master # make a bookmark of master for default, so a ref gets created | |
| $ hg push git+ssh://git@github.com/schacon/hg-git.git | |
| $ hg push |
I'm also getting the same error as above with python2.7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got it to work by ignorning the section
cd c:\python26\libs
pexports c:\windows\system32\python26.dll > python26.def
dlltool -C -d python26.def -l libpython26.a
nm libpython26.a # shows you the exported symbols with "I" (as import symbol)
and just running the easy_install command again once I had the entry
[build]
compiler=mingw32
In C:\Python27\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg which uses the gcc compiler from mingw instead.
After following the instructions above on Python2.7 I get an error saying "unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin'" when gcc is called while installing dulwich.

I had the same problem and fixed it using the suggestion from http://stackoverflow.com/a/6035864/1462615
To install hg-git on Python 2.7 on Windows 7 x64, I had to patch cygwinccompiler.py

Trying to replicate this with Python2.7, I'm unable to perform "pexports" on my python27.dll. I get:
PS C:\python27\libs> pexports c:\windows\system32\python27.dll > python27.def
stat: No such file or directory
c:\mingw\bin\pexports.exe: c:\windows\system32\python27.dll: could not load PE image
(C:\windows\system32\python27.dll exists.)
Any ideas?
