Hey thanks for answering. Forgot to mention, yes I do use Windows 7 and have the Windows 7.0 SDK installed.

I stumbled upon that, but the problem is I am stuck on the Python and VS versions since I want to compile pyzmq for usage within 3ds Max 2015, which uses those versions. I came across this trick to make Python 2.7.3 work with a newer VS version by using an environment var: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2817869/error-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat

I might also not have the exact Service Pack for VS 2012 that I need (based on http://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2015/ENU/?guid=__files_GUID_6E179A56_5552_4D0B_BA61_BBD37B9E52DB_htm) so I will update and try again.

I believe you have to use VS2008 to build extensions for Python 2.7 or the Windows 7 (not 7.1) SDK, which is based on the same VC9. Microsoft released a special package <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266> with a VC++ compiler for Python 2, that might be what you need. I think you may need a very recent Python 2.7 (.9 or .10, perhaps) for distutils to find it, though.

    Hello,

    I am trying to build pyzmq on *Windows*, Python 2.7.3 x64 with
    Visual Studio 2012.

    On a side note: I tried building libzmq 1.40 on my own beforehand,
    but the paths in the solutions seem to be outdated and the
    configure --zmq=path/to/libzmq did not work properly, so I thought
    the step is probably not even needed: As far as I understood, it
    already comes now with the source code of its dependencies
    libsodium and libzmq. Please correct me if that is wrong.

    So basically I downloaded the

    |git clone git://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq.git|

    repository and executed the following in a VS 2012 Command prompt:

    |python setup.py configure ||python setup.py build_ext --inplace|

    The output is as in the following link, it seems to have problems
    compiling sodium:

    Any ideas or pointers?

    Cheers,
    Christoph
