Hi guys. I’m following the Python Developer’s guide to start contributing to CPython as a beginner. I’m stuck upon an issue about setting up the environment and I can’t just understand what’s wrong.
So I have basically forked the CPython repository and I have cloned it on my local pc. Then I followed the instructions on the “Getting Started” section of the guide (I’m on Windows) and I have to verify that all the dependencies required are installed.
So I opened a cmd prompt and entered:
PCbuild\build.bat
It seems like everything is installed correctly, except for this:
Cannot locate MSBuild.exe on PATH or as MSBUILD variable
I’ve searched on Google and found out that I had to add the address of this app to PATH, and I did it. The truth is nothing changed and I still get the same error.
In particular, I added these two addresses:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
(Because I found MSBuild inside those folders)
So, What Am I doing wrong?
