Steve Dower added the comment: So the more interesting error message is higher up:
xxmodule.c xxmodule.obj : warning LNK4197: export 'PyInit_xx' specified multiple times; using first specification Creating library d:\temp\tmptzty591d\Debug\temp\tmptzty591d\xx_d.cp36-win_amd64.lib and object d:\temp\tmptzty591d\Debug\temp\tmptzty591d\xx_d.cp36-win_amd64.exp LINK : /LTCG specified but no code generation required; remove /LTCG from the link command line to improve linker performance LINK : fatal error LNK1101: incorrect MSPDB140.DLL version; recheck installation of this product It's entirely possible that this was an issue with VS 2015 that has been resolved in VS 2015 Update 1. Let me check with some people who may know. In the meantime, it would be handy if the owners could confirm that the buildbots are running VS 2015 and not Update 1 (released in November, so if you haven't installed anything that recently then it's unrelated). Also the full version numbers of the following files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\mspdb140.dll C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\link.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_arm\link.exe ---------- assignee: -> steve.dower _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
