Creating Windows Buildout Project

試著在 Windows 建立 Plone 4.1.2 的 Buildout 專案環境，事先要安裝 Python 2.6.7、PyWin32、PIL 1.1.6、easy_install、Subversion、Git。再下載安裝 zopeskel：

C:\> easy_install zopeskel

接著，可以用 zopeskel 來建立 Buildout 專案，範例指令如下：

C:\> mkdir Plone
C:\> cd Plone
C:\Plone> zopeskel basic_buildout

basic_buildout: A basic buildout skeleton
This creates a basic skeleton for a buildout.
Enter project name: myproj

If at any point, you need additional help for a question, you can enter
'?' and press RETURN.

Expert Mode? (What question mode would you like? (easy/expert/all)?) ['easy']:

如果遇到下列訊息，可以予以略過不理會：

UserWarning:
You don't have the C version of NameMapper installed!
I'm disabling Cheetah's useStackFrames option as it is painfully slow
with the Python version of NameMapper.
You should get a copy of Cheetah with the compiled C version of NameMapper.

剛建立的 myproj 專案目錄裡，只有 bootstrap.py 和 buildout.cfg 兩個檔案，執行 python bootstrap.py 之後，會建立必要的目錄架構，特別是 bin 目錄裡會建立 buildout 工具程式，額外的撇步是指定 zc.buildout 版本是 1.4.4，不然預設裝的 1.5.2 版本會造成衝突，範例訊息如下：

C:\Plone\myproj> python bootstrap.py -v 1.4.4

Getting distribution for 'setuptools'.
Got setuptools 0.6c12dev-r88846.
Generated script 'C:\\Plone\\myproj\\bin\\buildout'.

預設的 buildout.cfg 檔案內容如下：

[buildout]
parts =
    templer

[templer]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
    PasteScript
    templer.core

不過，我並沒使用這個 buildout.cfg 內容，而是直接複製 Linux 環境上安裝的 *.cfg 檔案，修改 base.cfg 和 lxml_static.cfg 的 eggs-directory 和 download-cache 配合 Windows 環境的目錄，再執行 buildout：

C:\Plone\myproj> bin\buildout -c develop.cfg

安裝 Pillow 時，需要安裝 Visual Studio 2008 Express，據說 2008 之外的版本並不行：

error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
An error occured when trying to install Pillow 1.7.2. Look above this message fo
r any errors that were output by easy_install.

編譯 lxml 如果遇到錯誤，要補足需要的檔案，以 Plone 4.1.3 為例，要下載 lxml 2.3.2 的原始碼。如果沒成功的話，還可以試試直接安裝較低的 lxml 版本。
