Also, there is no way to clean up <br>> variables that are incorrect from a failed attempt. The script cannot <br>> find Python even though I have 2 versions and have Python2.7 in my path. <br>> I try to pass it to the script and it just starts over saying it cannot <br>> find python.<br>> <br>> When the script doesn't like information I give it, it closes my <br>> PowerShell window even though I opened it before running the script. <br>> When it installs the version of Python it wants, it throws errors. <br>> Nowhere at kde.org is the preferred version of Python specified. For <br>> people to be able to build on Windows, you must specify all required <br>> tools including versions expected by the script. You would give <br>> dependencies for Linux, so this is the equivalent.<br>> <br>> This is just a heads up. I am not looking for help here.<br>> <br>> Also, the person updating Windows specific tools and scripts needs to be <br>> able to test and run them on a Windows machine, not a VM or Wine.<br>> <br>> Thanks,<br>> Tom Sisson<br></div> </div></body>
