Re: [pywin32-bugs] Build problem with VC++ 2005

[Mark H. <mha...@sk...>]

The pyw...@li... mailing list is only for automated
mails from the sourceforge bug tracker.  The best list for this stuff is
pyt...@py....  Please drop pywin32-bugs from any followups..

Note that in general, you *must* use the same compiler for extensions that
you use for Python itself.  However, without *any* details about the error I
can't even start to guess what the problem might be.  As pywin32 builds
using distutils, I expect that any problems you have are not specific to
pywin32 but will be common to all extensions you try and build - but that
should become clearer once we get a clue as to what is going wrong.

Cheers,

Mark

Subject: [pywin32-bugs] Build problem with VC++ 2005



I am unable to build 210 (with distutils) using VC++ 2005.

Unfortunately, I HAVE to use this compiler and rebuild
everything (since VC 7 is no longer distributed) going forward.

Is this just an issue with the setup.py script?  Is it possible to
just "manually" (shudder) make up a project file for pywin32
and build that way?
