Hello;
Sorry to bring this up again, with the greatest respect to Damjan's work to get
this building somehow. The following patches are wrong and should be removed:
main/python/python-2.7.18-msvs9-win64-target.patch
main/python/python-2.7.18-msvs9-win64.patch
Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 (AKA Visual Studio 2008) doesn't support Win64, and
the path is specifically meant for that compiler.
Python 2.x still support the old compiler on misc/build/Python-2.7.18/PC/VS9.0
but newer compilers should be using misc/build/Python-2.7.18/PCBuild
Fixing that for newer compilers should make things a lot easier.
Congratulations everybody, specially Damjan for the hard work and the the amd64
nearing!
Pedro.

Hi;
As a follow up to my comments on python and MSVC versions, I think a starting
point to fix the build problem correctly would be to add something like this in
main/python/makefile.mk (around line 127)
# Requires adapting for according to the MSVC compiler version.# Normally
PCBuild will carry the latest supported build files..IF "$(CCNUMVER)" <=
"00150030729"BUILD_DIR=PC/VS9.0.ELSEBUILD_DIR=PCBuild.ENDIF

There is no VS/10.0, at least not for python 2.7.x, as I had thought
previously, and we shouldn't worry about any MS Visual C++ older than 2008.
Yes, I realize this involves boring rework, but that's the way the python
documentation suggests.
Cheers,
Pedro.
