Forgive me but i'm a little out of my element here.
How can I build Python 3 without using closed source Nuget5 or the massive MSVS? Is there a way to compartmentalize bits and pieces of this and only grab what I absolutely need, preferably using open utilities ?
My buddies original question is below (he's helping me through all this):
We want to build python 3 (latest release) on windows for a xeon machine we are testing against nuclear and solar radiation. What build syntax would I use that would include PGO as well as remove source files and leave only the required files/folders (../lib, ../include, etc...) on a win7pro machine? (xeon) The machine will be doing a lot of mobile device testing. The build needs to be secure and geared towards working with devices over usb-c.
Optimally a added install switch to have a shadow copy auto generate would be the best route in addition to that.
We ran into some issues however in the building process. As it seems NuGet is closed source ? And we ran into some powershell errors as well. (see attached)
Is there a way of compiling all this with little pomp and parade?
Thank you truly!
