All Versions

  • Build from a path that doesn't contain spaces. Otherwise, you may get an error 9009 when executing gendef.
  • Set PATCHDIR to the location of a release downloaded from https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-win-core-path-HACK. This folder should contain x86\api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll and x64\api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll.

Python 3.9

  • If you get an error during documentation build saying that itircl.dll was not registered correctly, go to externals\windows-installer\htmlhelp and run regsvr32 itcc.dll. Or you can install HTML Help Compiler system-wide, which would register this DLL anyway.
  • Install Sphinx 3.5.4 to a Python 3.6 venv and set PYTHON to the location of the Python executable.
  • Apply add-dll-1.patch to ensure that api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is installed next to the Python executable.
  • Apply enable-win7-install-1.patch for 3.9.0-3.9.10 or enable-win7-install-2.patch for 3.9.11 or higher to allow the installer to proceed on Windows 7 and to include debug symbols, debug binaries, and the Universal CRT in the installer.
  • Apply fix-libffi-1.patch for 3.9.0, fix-libffi-2.patch for 3.9.1, fix-libffi-3.patch for 3.9.2, fix-libffi-4.patch for 3.9.4, or fix-libffi-5.patch for 3.9.5-3.9.6 to avoid error where libffi-7.lib can't be found.
  • Apply fix-guid.patch for 3.9.7 and higher to work around python/cpython#96729.
  • Apply fix-htmlhelp.patch for 3.9.0-3.9.10 to fix error in documentation build (python/cpython#90621).
  • Apply fix-chm.patch to fix formatting errors in the .chm help file (python/cpython#91207).
  • Run buildrelease.bat -x86 -x64.

Python 3.10

  • If you get an error during documentation build saying that itircl.dll was not registered correctly, go to externals\windows-installer\htmlhelp and run regsvr32 itcc.dll. Or you can install HTML Help Compiler system-wide, which would register this DLL anyway.
  • Install Sphinx 3.5.4 to a Python 3.6 venv and set PYTHON to the location of the Python executable.
  • Apply add-dll-1.patch to ensure that api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is installed next to the Python executable.

  • Run buildrelease.bat -x86 -x64.

Python 3.11

  • For 3.11.0-3.11.7, create a Python 3.9 venv. For 3.11.8 and higher, create a Python 3.10 venv. Set PYTHON to the location of the Python executable.
  • Apply fix-sphinx-dependencies.patch for 3.11.0-3.11.7 to fix an error when building the documentation due to incompatible Sphinx dependencies (sphinx-doc/sphinx#11890).
