Ahh, I see. Did you try this:: Building for Itanium -------------------- The project files support a ReleaseItanium configuration which creates Win64/Itanium binaries. For this to work, you need to install the Platform SDK, in particular the 64-bit support. This includes an Itanium compiler (future releases of the SDK likely include an AMD64 compiler as well). In addition, you need the Visual Studio plugin for external C compilers, from http://sf.net/projects/vsextcomp. The plugin will wrap cl.exe, to locate the proper target compiler, and convert compiler options accordingly. The project files require atleast version 0.9. I can't tell whether vsextcomp handles your compiler or not though... STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
