= How to build eggs for !PyCrypto on Win32 =

== Preparation ==
Download and install 7-zip (to extract .tar.gz)
 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z920.exe

Download hashdeep, extract to PATH (to check SHA-256 checksums)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/md5deep/files/md5deep/md5deep-3.9.2/md5deep-3.9.2.zip/download

Download Mingw32 installer and run it.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20110802/mingw-get-inst-20110802.exe/download

Download pycrypto: 
http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.4.tar.gz

Check the SHA-256 hash: 
{{{C:\> hashdeep -c sha256 pycrypto-2.4.tar.gz}}}

Extract pycrypto-2.4.tar.gz with 7-zip.

Download Python 2.6 and install it. 
http://www.python.org

Add {{{c:\python26}}} and {{{c:\python26\scripts}}} to your PATH

== Compile and build the binary eggs ==

Run MingW Shell from start menu, cd to pycrypto-2.4 directory and start the compilation:
{{{ python build --compile=mingw32}}}

Build the egg (will be placed in the \dist subdirectory:
{{{ python -c "import setuptools; execfile('setup.py')" bdist_egg}}}

== Test the build ==

Run pycrypto test suite: 
{{{ python setup.py test}}}

Download Tahoe-LAFS https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/releases/allmydata-tahoe-1.9.0.zip

Extract it to a short path without spaces (e.g. C:\). Run the test suite:
{{{c:\> python setup.py test}}}


== Instructions for Python 2.7 ==

Python 2.7 are build in the same way: 
Download Python 2.7 and install it 
http://www.python.org

Remove {{{c:\python26}}} and {{{c:\python26\scripts}}} from your PATH.
Add {{{c:\python27}}} and {{{c:\python27\scripts}}} to your PATH

Compile and test pycrypto-24 in the same way as for Python 2.6.
