In command prompt, I see the following, with comments added. f:\dev\3x>PCbuild\build.bat -e # -e should not be needed, but explicitly says to build externals Using py -3.7 (found 3.7 with py.exe) # You must have an installed python to build python. Fetching external libraries... # There are 4. bzip2-1.0.6 already exists, skipping. # You should see something about fetching. ... Fetching external binaries... # There are 3 libffi already exists, skipping. # Again, you should see something about fetching. # Although the .c files are not downloaded, the include files, including ffi.h, are, in externals/libffi/(win32|amd64)/include. I personally have not used PCBuild\pcbuild.sln for years, since Zach added a fully functional build.bat. After running the resulting binary, I pin the icon to the taskbar, so I can easily run freshly compiled python interactively without blocking the command window. The pinned icon remains valid after re-compiles, which I do often. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37133> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
