For reasons beyond my control, I have a need to build Python 2.6 with MSVC 2010 (for x64). Does anyone have any hints as to how I can accomplish this? I see there are instructions for building Python 2.7 with MSVC 2010, but those are using the Python 2.7 source as the base for patching, so they do me little to no good. My main tripping point right now is the deprecation of vcbuild (replaced by msbuild). I can run msbuild on the 2.6 solution files:
msbuild PCbuild\pcbuild.sln /p:Configuration="Release" / p:platform="x64" but I get all sorts of errors, related to vcbuild not being available. Will this be as simple as getting the project/solution files up to date for MSVC 2010, or am I going to have to patch a lot of code? Any and all help is much appreciated Thanks in advance, Tom -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
