Python itself seems to build with no problems at all (there was a mention of "Solution folders" not being supported in Express Edition, but that doesn't seem to stop anything I need to do to build. Most of the extensions built fine, and the test suite went through with no issues. I couldn't get TCL/Tk or SSL to build, but I didn't try very hard, I have to admit. SSL needs perl, which I don't have installed (I could install it and try, but no time right now). For TCL, though, it doesn't seem to build cleanly with VS 2008. Lots of errors. I'm not sure how useful it would be for me to attempt to get this resolved, as it's more of a TCL issue at some level. At some stage, building TCL/Tk needs to be addressed, but as I've never managed to do so in the past, I may not be the best person to start right now :-) But I'm certainly happy to help if that would be useful. Thanks for the work you've put into PCBuild9, and for porting it back to 2.6, as well. It looks really good. I may actually be able to go back to doing some C hacking on the Python core :-) Paul. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
