GnuWin32 required for sarge?

[Former user]

I am using Windows 7 64-bit machine and installed python 2.7.9 (64-bit version) via MSI.

Installation of 'sarge' went fine without any errors from Windows cmd prompt. But when I run test, I am getting following error. Is this expected? Is GnuWin32 required for 'sarge'? Is there no support for 'sarge' on vanilla 64-bit arch?

This appears not to be installed correctly, as the file u'libiconv2.dll' does not appear to be in the current directory. See http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm for download details. Once downloaded and installed, you need to copy libiconv2.dll, libintl3.dll, cat.exe, echo.exe, tee.exe, false.exe, true.exe, sleep.exe and touch.exe to the test directory or have the directory they were installed to on the PATH.

This is not a bug. Gnu-Win32 is only needed for running the tests on Windows, not for sarge itself. This is documented here. The Gnu-Win32 executables should work on 64-bit architectures, too.
