    :title: Build xgboost 0.4a30 for Python 3.4 and 3.5

    `xgboost <https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost>`_ does not support the Windows
    compilation anymore so I had to look for a way to compile *xgboost* for Windows.
    I tried to start from the source but it seemed quite complex plus the owners
    mention they don't support it anymore. Instead, I chose to use
    the source included the release package on
    `PyPi <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xgboost>`_.
    I copy paste some of the instructions I used from the previous
    blog post I wrote on that topic since I did not start from a fresh and empty
    environment. The steps I did not do again are marked with a ``*``.
    This is the process I followed:

    Fortunately, somebody already did that
    and it is available here:

    :categories: build,module,windows
    :rawfile: 2015/2015-11-12_build_xgboost_35.rst

    This is a process I followed to build `xgboost <https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost>`_ 0.4
    on Python 3.5
    This is also what you should follow to get missing dependency such as
    ``vcomp110.dll`` (which comes from `OpenMP in Visual C++ <https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/tt15eb9t.aspx>`_).
    The following process is only available for Python 3.4 64 bit:

    :title: I tried to build pywin32 for Python 3.5
    :date: 2015-09-17
    :keywords: build,pywin32,Visual Studio 2015
    :categories: install,module,windows
    :rawfile: 2015/2015-09-17_pywin32_py35.rst

    So I installed
    `Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 <https://www.visualstudio.com/fr-fr/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx>`_,
    `Windows SDK <https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-sdk>`_.
    I think some files changed positions so I played a little bit. I created folder
    ``C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\custom`` where I copied
    ``Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um`` into ``custom\include``
    and ``Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x64`` into ``custom\lib``.
    I modified the file ``setup.py`` from pywin32 and
    I tried to build (``python setup.py build``).
    I ended up with this error::

    :title: Install Theano on Linux

    :keywords: install,theano,tdm-g++
    :categories: install,module,windows
    :rawfile: 2015/2015-09-12_install_theano.rst

    The module `theano <http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/>`_
    involves some C++ and requires a compiler.
    For Windows, I recommend to read section
    `Installation of Theano on Windows <http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/install_windows.html?highlight=tdm>`_.
    It requires `tdm-gcc <http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/>`_.
