Hi Bill, Python 2.4 requires VC7.1 I just ran into this recently. Once I installed VC7.1, I could easily compile the Python source to create a debug lib.
Winzip should be able to read the python source tarball... There is one trick though. Once you download it, it might get renamed to python.tar.gz.tar and the trick is to rename the file's extension to .tar.gz or (my preference) .tgz. If it really is a bzip2 file, then you'll need some sort of bunzip. I use the cygnus version, but I don't remember having to do anything out of the way for the python source. -Jim On 4/18/05, Bill Davy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "A.B., Khalid" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Bill Davy wrote: > >> I downlaoded and installed > >> http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/python-2.4.1.msi > >> > >> I'm trying to build an extension using SWIG 1.3.24 and the linker > > needs > >> python24_d.lib (I do not have the DLL either).
