Hi Alan,

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you please modify the file python/setup.py.in as described below and restart the build process from scratch (i.e. in a new directory) ?

Let me know if the compilation succeeds in that case.

Regarding the failed tests, could you please re-run them with the command below and investigate if some errors are reported in the file C:/FlightGear/jsbsim/build64/Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log ?

It compiles OK now (release build only of course), and I can run the test suite from within the Visual Studio gui.

However I do not know how to run the tests using the ctest command. I assume that I have to be in a directory which contains the ctest executable – but do not know where that is.
