I did this just a couple of days ago. The error that you are getting doesn't have anything to do specifically with OL3.

The error that you are facing, has to do with setup tools not being installed.

I have found that the easiest way to get this done, is to download ez_setup.py and install it from there.

To recap, you need to do this:

  1. Download the OpenLayers Code.
  2. Install Python if you don't have it installed.
  3. Install Setup tools from ez_setup.py
  4. Install Pystache
  5. Install RegEx
  6. Finally build OL3 by running build.py in the OL3 directory

    Those are needed for the tests, not for the build.

    @jonh: Yes, it needs to be installed correctly; Only after that can you proceed. What's the python version that you are using?

  • I use Python 2.7.6. I think that maybe conflict with Python from ArcGIS. But i install from python.org/download

There's nothing Linux specific in these installation instructions as far as I can see. They should work the same in a windows command shell. Only make sure, that you've installed all the dependencies.

After you've installed all dependencies you should be able to use build.cmd on your windows system.

What exactly is not working on your system?
