Summary: still can\'t build pywin32-214 from source (alas!)

Initial Comment:
I downloaded mapilib.i from http://pywin32.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pywin32/pywin32/com/win32comext/mapi/src/

I deleted and then unzipped pywin32-214.zip, copied mapilib.i and retried \"python setup.py install\".  It gets much further but now fails at:

E:\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\BIN\\nmake.exe /nologo /f makefile_pythonwin SUB_DIR_O=c:\\pywin32-214\\build\\temp.win32-2.7\\Release\\scintilla SUB_DIR_BIN=c:\\pywin32-214\\build\\temp.win32-2.7\\Release\\scintilla DIR_PYTHON=c:\\p\\python-2.7

	c:\\p\\python-2.7\\tools\\scripts\\h2py.py Include\\scilexer.h
# Generated by h2py from stdin
	type scintilla.py > ..\\pywin\\scintilla\\scintillacon.py
The system cannot find the file specified.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: \'type\' : return code \'0x1\'
Stop.
error: command \'nmake.exe\' failed with exit status 2

I attach the build log and a system info dump.  I noticed a bunch of warnings: \"WINVER not defined. Defaulting to 0x0600 (Windows Vista)\".  In fact this is Windows/XP SP3 in a VMWare virtual machine.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... "uploaded files must be no larger than 256K".  I'm deleting the beginning to comply.

My file association for ".py" doesn't include a %* so arguments are not

OK, I think I've found another real bug.  As a workaround I manually
created a DOCUME~1\... directory under pywin32-214 and copied
pywin32.version.txt there and that made the install run to completion.

My file association for ".py" doesn't include a %* so arguments are not

Initial Comment:
I downloaded mapilib.i from http://pywin32.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pywin32/pywin32/com/win32comext/mapi/src/

I deleted and then unzipped pywin32-214.zip, copied mapilib.i and retried \"python setup.py install\".  It gets much further but now fails at:

I attach the build log and a system info dump.  I noticed a bunch of warnings: \"WINVER not defined. Defaulting to 0x0600 (Windows Vista)\".  In fact this is Windows/XP SP3 in a VMWare virtual machine.

Thanks in advance.

Well, "set" says I don't have a TEMP, just TMP and TMPDIR.  (see below)

I'm trying to keep this a vanilla system, but of course I can't avoid

I will send you mail following up.  Thanks for your help.

Aha again!  Some web searching turned up this:
Command line arguments in Windows : Python
http://objectmix.com/python/355959-command-line-arguments-windows.html

My file association for ".py" doesn't include a %* so arguments are not
passed to a script!  I don't know how this happened.  This is what I get
for building everything from source.  :-)

Summary: still can\'t build pywin32-214 from source (alas!)

Initial Comment:
I downloaded mapilib.i from http://pywin32.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pywin32/pywin32/com/win32comext/mapi/src/

I deleted and then unzipped pywin32-214.zip, copied mapilib.i and retried \"python setup.py install\".  It gets much further but now fails at:

E:\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\BIN\\nmake.exe /nologo /f makefile_pythonwin SUB_DIR_O=c:\\pywin32-214\\build\\temp.win32-2.7\\Release\\scintilla SUB_DIR_BIN=c:\\pywin32-214\\build\\temp.win32-2.7\\Release\\scintilla DIR_PYTHON=c:\\p\\python-2.7

The system cannot find the file specified.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: \'type\' : return code \'0x1\'
Stop.
error: command \'nmake.exe\' failed with exit status 2

I attach the build log and a system info dump.  I noticed a bunch of warnings: \"WINVER not defined. Defaulting to 0x0600 (Windows Vista)\".  In fact this is Windows/XP SP3 in a VMWare virtual machine.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... "uploaded files must be no larger than 256K".  I'm deleting the beginning to comply.

Well, "set" says I don't have a TEMP, just TMP and TMPDIR.  (see below)

I'm trying to keep this a vanilla system, but of course I can't avoid
having a lot of stuff installed (MinGW, MSYS, Visual Studio, the Windows
SDK, emacs).  

I will send you mail following up.  Thanks for your help.

Summary: still can\'t build pywin32-214 from source (alas!)

Initial Comment:
I downloaded mapilib.i from http://pywin32.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pywin32/pywin32/com/win32comext/mapi/src/

I deleted and then unzipped pywin32-214.zip, copied mapilib.i and retried \"python setup.py install\".  It gets much further but now fails at:

E:\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\BIN\\nmake.exe /nologo /f makefile_pythonwin SUB_DIR_O=c:\\pywin32-214\\build\\temp.win32-2.7\\Release\\scintilla SUB_DIR_BIN=c:\\pywin32-214\\build\\temp.win32-2.7\\Release\\scintilla DIR_PYTHON=c:\\p\\python-2.7

	c:\\p\\python-2.7\\tools\\scripts\\h2py.py Include\\scilexer.h
# Generated by h2py from stdin
	type scintilla.py > ..\\pywin\\scintilla\\scintillacon.py
The system cannot find the file specified.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: \'type\' : return code \'0x1\'
Stop.
error: command \'nmake.exe\' failed with exit status 2

I attach the build log and a system info dump.  I noticed a bunch of warnings: \"WINVER not defined. Defaulting to 0x0600 (Windows Vista)\".  In fact this is Windows/XP SP3 in a VMWare virtual machine.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... "uploaded files must be no larger than 256K".  I'm deleting the beginning to comply.

Oh, looking more closely I see I *do* have TEMP and it's set to
"C:/Documents and Settings/...".  Maybe the forward slash is the problem?

setup.py should probably just use the tempfile module to locate the temp

Well, "set" says I don't have a TEMP, just TMP and TMPDIR.  (see below)

I'm trying to keep this a vanilla system, but of course I can't avoid
having a lot of stuff installed (MinGW, MSYS, Visual Studio, the Windows
SDK, emacs).  

I will send you mail following up.  Thanks for your help.

My file association for ".py" doesn't include a %* so arguments are not
