If the error explicitly states needing MS Visual Studio version 6.0, you will need to procure that version. That will get you to build it as is. If you trying to modernize it with a more recent MS Visual Studio, then the headers/libraries associated with MS Visual Studio version 6.0 are still necessary. Some but not all command line tools from MS Visual Studio version 6.0 would be needed such as the resource compiler. Once you find all the headers and libraries for that version and point to your include/lib/resourcecompiler environment paths to get there, you have a fighting chance at building it with the latest versions of ms dev studio CL.exe and Link.exe. Make sure the 2006 inc/libs/resource-compiler are first in the path if you're trying to achieve this build. For MS Dev 2006, place "verbose" on for: -MSBuild/MS IDE build -CL.exe -Link.exe For the MSYS side of things, also place verbosity for make, gcc, ld when building pywin32. Keep in mind within gcc/g++ it hides the linker verbosity turn it back on to better understand what gets linked and in what order. If there are any bash scripts involved echo on so you can see the commands executed. When you see ALL the steps involved in the build both on the windows side and the linux/GNU side of things you'll have a better picture of what exactly is wrong and what exactly needs to be fixed. I hope this helps.
