[Pyode-user] Compiling PyODE

[Paul K. <pki...@in...>]

Hi

I have been a very long time user of PyODE, using an ODE.PYD version
compiled against Win32 Python 2.2 and 2.4.  Unfortunately I now need to
recompile (some 7 years later) for Python 2.4 64 bit and Python 2.7 32
and 64 bit.

I am having trouble compiling for both version of python.

For python 2.4 64 bit, it seems I need an old version of Visual Studio -
long longer available.  Does anyone know a workaround for this?

I'm also struggling to compile PyODE for Python 2.7 using Vis Studio
2008.  I compile ODE in Vis Studio ok, but then the pyode build gives
link errors such as:

Does anyone have any advice pls?

Thanks in advance.
