hgview #46134 hgview does not work on Windows [done]
Version 0.11.2 was the last one to work on Windows. The setup.py in more recent versions doesn't work and refers to non-existent files. I've tried patching setup.py, but the resulting package doesn't run. | |

add commentI swear I've been using hgview 1.x+ on windows; however I am not sure if that was not directly from sources indeed.
For the little story: I am currently running hgview on a winXP platform, installed using setup.py.
But the setup script need work on win32, that's true.
OK, I gave it another go and managed to get it running with setup.py and only a small patch. Don't know what I was doing last time I tried for it not to work.
EDIT: I can't find how to attach the new patch, so since it is pretty small, I'll just put it inline here:
