looks like an incompatibility in setuptools: the build step
either is not run or is run from a different directory.

however, roundup is not meant to be installed from egg -
there are many issues to address if egg distribution is to
be implemented.

please use bdist_wininst.

I can verify that this also happens on OS X, so I can only assume it happens on other forms of *nix, so not just for Windows folks. Is there any plans to make roundup compatible with setuptools?

no.

the main problem with setuptools is that you cannot install data files outside of the egg (zip or directory).  roundup installs manual pages and message catalogs.  these files must go to their platform-specific locations.

support for setuptools will also require some reworking of command line scripts generation and template directory access.  this is doable, but there is not enough motivation to do it.  at least, not until the main problem can be solved.
