Jacques,
As for the first problem, the unfortunate thing is that fixing it for some of
us breaks it for others. Let me look into whether command line parameter could
be the solution. I will let you know as soon as I know more. The answer to your
question 1 is, therefore, yes.
As for the second problem, my guess is that the problem may stem from the SDK
command line setup. The LIB environment variable gets set up by the SDK
initialization and may have been set up incorrectly. Are you using VS2005 or
the .NET Framework SDK? I suspect that the batch files on your computer may not
be doing what they are supposed to ... I am using Visual Studio 2005 for my
development and when I open the VS build window, there is no path in the LIB
variable that contains the directory VC98 ('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\lib). I wonder if that may be a lead to possible solution.
I hope this helps
Martin

Subject: Re: [IronPython] IronPython 0.9.6 released
Hi,
Thanks for the new version of IP. I'd like to start using it as soon as
possible, since error reporting is said to be improved on this version and that
will probably speed up my work.
I've installed IP 0.9.6 and attempted to run my apps with it, but I ran into
the following problems:
Problem 1: (reported earlier)
==========
As reported by me for IP 0.9.5, setting the AllowDrop property of e.g. a
Forms.ListView to True while using IP 0.9.6 STILL results in an exception
message: DragDrop registration failed. The fix I've used on 0.9.5 (see earlier
posting) was changing the declaration of Main in PythonCommandLine.cs
from:
static int Main(string[] rawArgs) {
to:
[STAThread]
static int Main(string[] rawArgs) {
If adding the [STAThread] attribute is not generally feasible for some other
reason, please could at least a command line switch be added to the next
version to achieve this. Otherways apps using Drag and Drop (a.o. all my
apps) will not run (see earlier discussions).
Surely D&D is considered an important part of the Windows User Experience...
;=)
Problem 2: (new problem)
==========
With IP 0.9.5 I could compile the above fix using the following recipe from the
readme.html in the root of the IP distribution:
[QUOTE]
After installing the SDK, open the .NET Framework SDK command prompt, go to the
IronPython directory and execute:
msbuild IronPython.sln
This will build IronPython.dll, IronMath.dll and IronPythonConsole.exe in the
"bin" directory.
[UNQUOTE]
But with IP 0.9.6 this does not work any more.
The following error messages are displayed:

[UNQUOTE]
For IP 0.9.5 compiling still works as expected, so nothing seems to have fallen
over in my compilation environment.
My question is:
1. Could the [STATThread] please be added to the next release one way or the
other 2. Could someone provide me with a fix or workaround for compiling IP
0.9.6 using the .NET SDK so that I can start using the improved error reporting
Thanks
