 - Note: You may need to add proxy settings for Subversion to work. Instructions on how to do this are [https://docs.opends.org/wiki/page/ConfiguringSubversionToUseAProxyServer?version=2 here]. It can be achieved using Tortoise SVN a lot simpler by going to TortoiseSVN->Settings->Network.

+== Build SansView ==
+- Now that the files are downloaded it's time to build. Go to where you downloaded sansview and look for the folder named 'trunk'. Inside this folder you should have a file called 'setup.py' which we shall use to build SansView. Use the code below on the command line in order to build SansView.

+{{{
+c:\sansviewproject\trunk>python setup.py build
+}}}

+- Note: You may get an error saying "Error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be built with a compiler that can generate compatible binaries". To solve this issue it will recommend using Cygwin and to compile with MinGW32. The best thing about this is that you don't have to actually use Cygwin. First go to the download page of MinGW and download the latest version. [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/] (Making sure it's 32-bit compatible). Next make sure the PATH variable is set to the folder containing the MinGW32 GCC. (Usually found in 'C:\MinGW\bin'). Next enter the following onto the command terminal.

+{{{
+c:\sansviewproject\trunk>python setup.py build -mingw32
