From 5f438064e0cf0bbf5851aec4170a4af5e1e854e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jojomatik Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2021 12:47:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix developer setup section for windows Remove reference to https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools. According to the commits the project switched to Python 3, but it seems like there has not been a release since and the project seems to be unmaintained. Therefore it still installs Python 2.7. Added "Download Build Tools for Visual Studio" and "Download Python 3" as steps. --- CONTRIBUTING.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.md b/CONTRIBUTING.md index 4ef4f8a089..64475d27e7 100644 --- a/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -37,8 +37,8 @@ Install the [Xcode Command-Line Tools](http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/12/install-co - Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40773 - Install Windows SDK version 8.1: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive -1.
