I've got some patches to msevc.py so that the build should autodetect the presence of either EVC or Visual Studio 2005 (or 2008) and configure the build process correctly. I just haven't had time to tidy them up and publish them. Maybe I'll get some time over the Christmas break. Would you be keen of giving these patches a "beta test" on your system once I've got them ready? Likewise if you have any patches to allow building against release25-maint I'd be interested in combining them with my current improvements to the port. >That doesn't include the sqlite extension though, and when I use >'scons.bat cab' I get an error about not finding the sqlite3 header >files.

The download of PythonCE source code would have placed the source in a directory called "Python-2.5". You need to place the sqlite-ce source code in a directory beside this folder (i.e. the main folder has both a Python-2.5 and Sqlite subfolder). The name it should have depends upon the exact version of sqlite your PythonCE source code has been hardcoded for. For my current branch I need to place it into a directory called sqlite-source-3.3.5-wince. The exact path can be determined by opening up the SConstruct file. It should have a line containing a line like the following: sqlite_source = '#../../../sqlite-source-3.3.5-wince' Hope this helps, Christopher Fairbairn _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
