Do you know how to fix 'unknown' version issue, so it can be set up properly doing compilation? Without manual modifications? Or maybe we can suggest it to forrestv.
I`m doing it manually in setup.py
version = __import__('p2pool').__version__
to
version = "9.0-7-g738af95"
As for current git ofc

I`m first update my linux node to see current version number then change that and compile under windows32/64.
I have no idea how to fix it automagically.
Very old question, but the answer is that git has to be on your path.
