I had big problems trying to build it under Windows. So I hope you don't need to follow my way.

How to build PDF on Windows

0. First install Python 2.7 (not the latest Python 3.x, but old version Python 2.7), MikTex;

1. Make sure folder with pdflatex.exe is added to PATH variable;

2. Clone repository https://github.com/aosabook/500lines.git;

3. Patch build.py script:

   • replace envy.run method with subprocess.call;
   • replace cp command line with Windows analog copy;
   • make sure that slash symbols '/' are replaced with backslash '\' for Windows folders;

   You can take build_win.py file from this repo as an example. But I can't guarantee it's 100% working.

4. Run build script with command:

python build.py --pdf

In the end you'll find result file output\500L.pdf.
