-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just grabbed the latest SVN head (trunk) of Python and attempted to build using VS .NET 2005 Express, and the sln/vcproj files in the PCbuild8 directory.
I had a few problems building even the pythoncore and python targets. First off, the Python code appears to rely on the MS Platform SDK, although the documents don't seem to mention this. I guess it's just assumed this is available? Second, the project files don't explicitly reference the Platform SDK include/library directories, so various headers/libs can't be found. Is it just assumed that the IDE global settings (Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories) are configured to point at the relevant platform SDK directories? The above two points may just be assumptions for usage of the project files. However, the final issue I had was missing libraries in the linker command; e.g. pythoncore needed me to add "user32.lib shell23.lib advapi32.lib" to the list of linker inputs. I don't think the IDE has a global list of libraries that always get linked in; how are these libraries expected to be found/known-about? Thanks for any information. If/when I find out the answer, I'll have a go at updating the PCbuild8/readme.txt with some extra tips for other people like myself! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG+JBFhk3bo0lNTrURAglHAKCu1qKBcfl9u9kPPz2yus0APEYTwgCgouYn uU13//LgzZvNwMvjW5cgfqE= =hCwq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
