Installation fails in windows with python 3.7.2 in windows env about python-mbedtls HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @thiyaneshece,

Thank you for your feedback. You are correct that Windows is not supported.

However, mbedtls should work under Windows and I do not think that I use any *nix-specific code. With some luck, setting up AppVeyor or another Windows CI service may be sufficient. Would you have any interest in contributing? Otherwise, I will see what I can do.

Note that I consider this issue a feature request and not a bug.---Not that it makes a huge difference.

Just a short update on this issue. I have created an AppVeyor account and set up the hook to compile and test there. Now, I am also setting up an MS box locally using Vagrant and Ansible to debug a bit faster. Cheers

@Synss - Sorry that i was loaded with other activities, could not respond on time. I would say i'm a beginner in python, also i am not aware of AppVeyor setup.

Thanks for information being updated, It would really help me a lot if i get windows platform support for this library.

Hi! I have not forgotten you but I have had an IRL (small) accident and Windows is out of my confort zone (although I have interest in having this feature). I shall come back to this quickly.

Hi! Issue #36 reported missing files in the archive. That could very well be the cause for the failing installation.

Hi! I still do not have wheel for windows but could you try again with 1.4.1 and report here whether it worked? I have fixed a problem with the archive.

Hi! The lastest commit on master should let you build on Windows. You still need to install mbedtls beforehand and set the INCLUDE and LIBPATH variables if mbedtls is not in the expected locations.

I have had success compiling mbedtls from git in the current 2.16 branch with the following call:
MSBuild.exe /NoLogo /MaxCpuCount /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64 /p:PlatformToolset=v140 /p:WholeProgramOptimization=False .\visualc\VS2010\mbedTLS.sln from the mbedtls root (say, $env:MBEDTLSROOT).

And then, from the python-mbedtls root, you need to set INCLUDE to the include directory from mbedtls (e.g.: $env:MBEDTLSROOT\include) and LIBPATH to something like $env:MBEDTLSROOT\visualc\VS2010\x64\Release and python setup.py install should work.

Note that I run everything under PowerShell and from the "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019". I am not sure whether this is a requirement or not.

This is still a bit involved and I will keep working on making wheels for Windows. That should be easier now.
