I want to be able to create a version of python24.lib that is a static library, suitable for creating a python.exe or other .exe using python's api. So I did as the earlier poster suggested, using 2.4.1 sources. I modified the PCBuild/pythoncore and python .vcproj files as follows: General/ ConfigurationType/ Static library (was dynamic in pythoncore) c/C++ Code Generation RT Library /MT (was /MTD for mt DLL) c/c++/Precompiled/ Not Using Precompiled headers (based on some MSDN hints) librarian OutputFile .//python24.lib Preprocessor: added Py_NO_ENABLED_SHARED. Removed USE_DL_IMPORT I built pythoncore and python. The resulting python.exe worked fine, but did indeed fail when I tried to dynamically load anything (Dialog said: the application terminated abnormally) Now I am not very clueful about the dllimport/dllexport business. But it seems that I should be able to link MY program against a .lib somehow (a real lib), and let the .EXE export the symbols somehow. My first guess is to try to use /MTD, use Py_NO_ENABLE_SHARED when building python24.lib, but then use PY_ENABLE_SHARED when compiling the python.c. I'll try that later, but anyone have more insight into the right way to do this? marvin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
