  • 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.

  • Apply add-dll.patch. Ignore whitespace warnings.

  • Apply guid-fix.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 (https://bugs.python.org/issue46463).

Python 3.10

  • Install Sphinx 3.5.4 to a Python 3.6 venv and set PYTHON to the location of the Python executable.
  • Apply add-dll.patch. Ignore whitespace warnings.
