[tahoe-dev] Python 2.7 Windows build Re: Announcing Tahoe-LAFS v1.9.2

[Iantcho Vassilev]

Hey Zooko,


My 1.9.2 build fails on WIndows 7 x64 with Python 2.6 in Processing
simplejson-2.6.0.tar.gz
...it ends on
 File "C:\Python26\lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 284, in
query_vcvarsal



Is it avaiable for x64?


Thanks
Iantcho
