the necessary backing Windows libraries, then empty /panda/src.
Check out module panda3d into your /panda/src, then
check out module panda-binary into your /panda/ to
receive any files updated since the last binary distribution.
A Panda3D installer for Windows (panda3d-2003-07-16A.exe) is available. It requires Python 2.2.3 to be installed in order for Panda3D to run. Support for the following libraries are included in the Windows build:
NSPR (nspr-4.2.2.zip)

Panda3D uses the OpenSSL library for encryption. We have provided a binary version of the OpenSSL 0.9.7 release compiled for Windows NT.

ppremake (ppremake.exe)
