Meanwhile, if you're still up to the challenge, here are the steps I used for building pywin32 for vista 64: 1) svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk python 2) compile python 2.6 for x64 from VS2008 IDE or Windows SDK 3) open x64 command-prompt 4) log as anonymous to pywin32 server: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/pywin32 login 5) download latest pywin32 source: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/pywin32 co -P pywin32 6) c:\dev\pywin32>\build ..\python2.6\python\PCbuild\python.exe setup.py build --plat-name=win-amd64 7) c:\dev\pywin32>\build ..\python2.6\python\PCbuild\python.exe setup.py bdist_wininst --skip-build
The pywin32 install package should be generated here c:\dev\pywin32>\build\dist\pywin32-210.9.win32.exe Hope that helps -mab ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Hammond Sent: May-30-08 6:38 PM To: 'Hanni Ali'; python-win32@python.org Subject: Re: [python-win32] building pywin32 on Server 2003 x64 pywin32 builds on a 64bit environment, but you need the SVN trunk of Python, the CVS trunk of pywin32, and VS2008. VS2005 support isn't *that* interesting to me as there are no Python binaries available built with that compiler and I can't get VS.NET to build with the most recent Vista SDK, which is needed for recent pywin32 functionality. A Python 2.6 amd64 build will be included in the next release.

It is necessary for us to use 64 bit python due to objects within our application exceeding 2GB in size. I am attempting to do so using msvc 2005 which I know is not ideal, but I have managed to build the other dependencies (Python, numpy), my attention is now on pywin32. Firstly although I have managed to get it compiling, I was not able to use the instruction: setup.py build --plat-name=win-amd64 The setup script reported plat-name as not existing. Secondly is anyone building pywin32 on 64 bit machines? Although I seem to have hacked it suficiently to get it to compile linking fails with errors of this manner: MSVCRT.lib(gs_support.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_Get CurrentThreadId referenced in function __security_init_cookie I appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks Hanni
