Today an user named weck has submitted three patches for VS 2005 support
[0]. In one of the replies Martin said that he likes to use the upcoming
VS2008 as new default compiler.
I've downloaded the Beta 2 of VS 2008 from [1] and played with it a bit.
It comes with most tools required to build Python except of ml.exe
(Microsoft ASM) but I found [2]. Although it looks a bit old it does its
job for OpenSSL.
I had to fix a small problem in socketmodule.c [3] in order to compile
the socket module. The rest is just fine and the unit test suite is
running w/o an error.
The only new warning
C:\Programme\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\winnt.h(7127) :
warning C4005: 'WRITE_RESTRICTED' : macro redefinition
c:\dev\python\py3k\Include\structmember.h(72) : see previous
definition of 'WRITE_RESTRICTED'
could probably be removed with renaming WRITE_RESTRICTED in structmember.h.
Should I check in my PCbuild9 directory? It's based on PCbuild8.
