[Buildbot-devel] buildbot 0.7.10p1 on cygwin

[Robert Mecklenburg]

I'm trying to install a buildbot slave on a Windows XP machine running
cygwin with little success.  Here is an excerpt:

    builder at cupcake:buildbot$ python --version
    Python 2.5.2

    builder at cupcake:buildbot$ builder at cupcake:buildbot$ type python
    python is hashed (/usr/bin/python)

So I try installing:

    builder at cupcake:buildbot$ python setup.py install
    running install
    running build
    running build_py
    creating build
    creating build/lib
    creating build/lib/buildbot
    ...
    copying buildbot/steps/trigger.py -> build/lib/buildbot/steps
    copying buildbot/steps/__init__.py -> build/lib/buildbot/steps
    package init file 'buildbot/steps/package/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)
    error: package directory 'buildbot/steps/package/rpm' does not exist

Googling for this yields pages that suggest environment variables need
to be set, but no page says what variables or what values.  So, I
check that the library is there and try setting PYTHONPATH:

    builder at cupcake:buildbot$ ls /usr/lib/python2.5/
    BaseHTTPServer.py
    BaseHTTPServer.pyc
    ...
    builder at cupcake:buildbot$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.5

But it has no effect:

    builder at cupcake:buildbot$ python setup.py install
    running install
    running build
    running build_py
    package init file 'buildbot/steps/package/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)
    error: package directory 'buildbot/steps/package/rpm' does not exist

Just for grins I try the build setup target, but no joy:

    builder at cupcake:buildbot$ python setup.py build
    running build
    running build_py
    package init file 'buildbot/steps/package/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)
    error: package directory 'buildbot/steps/package/rpm' does not exist

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
