New submission from Mark English <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: *Problem* The directory structure of PCBuild8 differs from PCBuild in that each project has its own subdirectory. There is no subdirectory for _ssl, and the files that would belong in it are also omitted.
*Solution* The attached files, based on those included with the Python 2.5.2 PCBuild release for windows in the svn Python25 maintenance trunk (http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint/PCbuild/), should be placed in a new directory PCBuild8\_ssl. Once added to the parent solution file pcbuild.sln, the _ssl project will simply build if the normal instructions have been followed. *Changes* Since this is a change in location, both _ssl.mak and build_ssl.py have been altered to reflect the extra level of nesting. As a result, the #pragma comment(lib, "Python25") in pyconfig.h did not work. In order to add the appropriate directory to the LIB path in _ssl.mak, build_py.py now takes an additional (second) command line parameter derived from visual studio's $(PlatformName). This is used to define an variable PLATFORM_NAME passed to _ssl.mak which is used to deduce the directory containing python25.lib. The accompanying _ssl.vcproj has been migrated from the Visual Studio 2003 vcproj file in PCBuild, and passes the additional $(PlatformName) parameter. _ssl.mak has also been adjusted to output a .pdb file and keep the root _ssl directory clean, copying existing behaviour for all the other projects. This has resulted in some ugly usage of special path splitting NMAKE syntax (grep for %|fF.obj) which doesn't work with the @<< syntax. As a result the link stage has been split across several lines. Someone with a better knowledge of makefiles in general and NMAKE in particular can probably improve on this, but it does work, and is otherwise legible. Note that this sub-directory file structure is new in this release, and that the Python3k trunk seems to be reverting to the flat file structure. These additions are still helpful since they should just work out of the box, and allow people using the current recommended build of Python (2.5.2) to compile the ssl and hashlib modules. *Additional Details* Built on Windows XP SP2 with MSVS2005 SP1. Details appended to this message. Built against openssl-0.9.8h, which is later than the standard Python25 distribution. Note that the assembly file based build of openssl-0.9.8h, which is triggered by build_ssl.py, currently has a small bug. See http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg24059.html This is easily fixed by the following one line change to openssl-0.9.8h\crypto\perlasm\x86ms.pl "In this file, the line 273 containing "$extra" should be removed to be able to compile the generated assembly files." If an openssl build has been attempted prior to this step, delete all out32 and tmp32 directories under openssl-0.9.8h *Code and Patch* Attached is a zip file containing the altered files, and a patch generated using cygwin's diff run with the command line -uarN. The patch can be applied by: cd PCBuild8 mkdir _ssl cd _ssl patch -u -p1 < [wherever_the_patch_file_is_downloaded_to]\_ssl.patch *Tested* Compiles and imports fine with Release and Debug builds. Other builds (AMD, Itanium) untested. *Build Details* Compiled against openssl-0.9.8h Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 SP1 Installed Edition: Professional Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 77626-009-0000007-41042 Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU Service Pack 1 (KB926601) ---------- components: Build, Windows files: Python252-PCBuild8-_ssl.zip messages: 68172 nosy: MarkE severity: normal status: open title: Python 2.5.2 Windows Source Distribution missing Visual Studio 2005 ssl build files type: compile error versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10621/Python252-PCBuild8-_ssl.zip _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3105> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
