Error Compiling P2Pool Scrypt

[NightAss]

trying to install p2pool on windows and for personal reasons I don't want to use the p2pool exe ver

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>cd..

C:\Documents and Settings>cd..

C:\>cd p2pool

C:\p2pool>cd litecoin_scrypt

C:\p2pool\litecoin_scrypt>C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw3
2 install
running build
running build_ext
building 'ltc_scrypt' extension
gcc -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -I. -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c scr
yptmodule.c -o build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\scryptmodule.o
error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory

C:\p2pool\litecoin_scrypt>

how can I get this to work?

Looks like C:\mingw\bin is not in your path.
Do this first before you try to build the scrypt support:

Code:

set path=%PATH%;C:\mingw\bin

[NightAss]

Code:

C:\p2pool>cd..

C:\>set path=%PATH%;C:\mingw\bin

C:\>cd /p2pool/litecoin_scrypt

C:\p2pool\litecoin_scrypt>C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw3
2 install
running build
running build_ext
building 'ltc_scrypt' extension
C:\mingw\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -I. -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\P
ython27\PC -c scryptmodule.c -o build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\scryptmodule.o
gcc: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

C:\p2pool\litecoin_scrypt>

I think its a new error and new is all ways better

exit status 1 looks new

[Schleicher]

Ok, looks like you have to do it differently.
Try this:

• Right-click 'My Computer' and select 'Properties'
• Click the 'Advanced' tab, then 'Environment Variables'.
  This opens the Environment Variables dialog.
• In the top 'User variables for' pane, select 'PATH' and click 'Edit'.
  If there is no 'PATH' variable, click on 'New' to create it.
• Add C:\mingw\bin

It should look like this (my Windows version is german):

[NightAss]

Code:

C:\>cd p2pool

C:\p2pool>cd litecoin_script
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\p2pool>cd litecoin_scrypt

C:\p2pool\litecoin_scrypt>C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw3
2 install
running build
running build_ext
building 'ltc_scrypt' extension
gcc -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -I. -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c scr
yptmodule.c -o build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\scryptmodule.o
error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory

C:\p2pool\litecoin_scrypt>

I all so went to the dir it self and it was spelt C:\MinGW\bin so i tryed it with the same caps and so on

 same error so did not bother to display it




in the read me for p2pool it says this

     cd litecoin_scrypt
            C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install

            If you run into an error with unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin', see this:
                http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6034390/compiling-with-cython-and-mingw-produces-gcc-error-unrecognized-command-line-o

but the link is no help at all


thanks for trying to help me fyi been working on this for like 4 days

Rav3n_pl had some problems too. Looks like it doesn't work with 64bit Windows.

He has the compiled files on his Skydrive, just unzip them into the Python directory:
