Hi all,
According to the building instructions from
http://spice-space.org/page/Building_Instructions , I get the source code
for spice, spice-protocol, and download   wspice-x64_20110308.zip. After
that i set those three environment variables from <my
computer>-<Properties>.
But when i compile <spice-dir>\client\windows\redc.sln, whether use vs2008
or vs2010, same errors.
(1)it reported that it can't find 'python', then i installed python for my
windows platform and add it to my PATH.
(2)then it report errors like 'python: can't open file
'..\..\spice-common\spice_codegen.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory'.
    I don't understand why this is happening, for i git cloned all the code
from freedesktop. However, i found there is one spice-common directory from
spice-gtk-0.14 src, so i copied it to <spice-dir>.
(3)After that the error message changed. It was "Module pyparsing not
found." Then i install pyparsing module for my python.and it then reported
other errors agagin.
(4)I solved many errors until i met many 'syntax error'.

I feel it 's wired, there must be something wrong with this source code.
Because i need some features from new version spice client, usb redir eg. I
have to compile it from source. Could any one give me some help? Thanks in
advance.
