Koen van de Sande <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: OK, so the define is not going to work. For Python extensions built through distutils, the msvc9compiler_stripruntimes.diff patch will work: it will remove just the dependency on the VC90runtimes. It will leave other assembly dependencies if they are there.
For the .pyd's and .dll's in the DLLs folder: I have opened them in a hex editor, and just by hand replaced the <assemblyIdentity> entry for the VC90runtimes in each file with spaces. I can confirm that this works, also for _tkinter, for which tk85.dll has an additional dependency on Windows Common Controls (though this one was available in my WinSXS). What would be the best way to integrate a search/replace operation like this in the Python build process? Is the manifest generated as a seperate file here first as well, or is it directly embedded? _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4120> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
