I am having the same problem. I also tried to compile with Cygwin, but 
that failed as well. Any pointers?

I managed to build python-sybase for ActiveState Python 2.4 (should also
work for normal python.org distribution).  I followed the instructions
at:

http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/

and found a copy of the old Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 compiler

http://npg.dl.ac.uk/MIDAS/download/midassort/midassort_Windows.html

I had to edit the environment variables because the latest Windows
Platform SDK installs to a different directory.

I would be happy to e-mail the distribution to anyone who asks for it in
the next few weeks, or I could upload it if someone gives me the right
permissions.  Of course it will only work for Python 2.4.

Too good, thanks for your links !!

So, as you proposed, I tried with the MS Compiler and libraries listed (and
the python.org), getting further to another problem...
For the next one, when you get:

> 'cspublic.h': No such file or directory

it's not MS or python libraries but Sybase's OCS /include files that are
needed (subDir of sybase home ; Env Var: SYBASE_OCS).

Now it's compiled !

Thanks
