I love Hydrus, and have at several points tried to do some modifications to the source code, to add some functionality or maybe refactor some code.
A problem I always end up is to actually run my home-brewed version, as I am always missing some dependency or other.
Thus, I would like to make a thread about getting this thing to work, directly from source.
I encourage you all to join in, if you have a problem or know the solution to one. Hopefully hydrus_dev will also help now and then.
Some basic, but inadequate info can be found here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/running_from_source.html
To start off:
Right now I am incapable of importing the function RAND_egd from the ssl module. I did some searching, and it seems to gather entropy for use in secure random info. At runtime it seems to require a special file for this, but that doesn't explain why it won't import. I am using windows.
