Nick Coghlan added the comment: I thought WINVER defaulted to something like 0x0400 (i.e. you can't use things specifically defined for even Win2k without setting it, let alone things first defined for XP).
I know I had to force it to 0x0500 recently for a non-Python project to get access to the function that permits a non-blocking attempt to acquire a critical section. That project is stuck using VC6 though - current MS compilers may default it to something more recent. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1706> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
