hi all! i just built revision 41809 under winxp using a rather uncommon setup (at least i think so). since i have no visual studio here, i only used freely available tools: cygwin to get the source, the microsoft compiler/linker and NAnt (nant.sf.net) as the build tool to interpret the .vcproj-files (which may be the uncommon part).
as far as i understand this setup is not supported in any way, but i noticed two problems, that could be interesting for others as well. first, the ProjectGUID's in "pythoncore.vcproj" and "pcbuild.sln" mismatch, i fixed that locally by changing "pythoncore.vcproj" (maybe visual studio is ignoring/shadowing this problem?). second, the build order in "pcbuild.sln" for elementtree seems to be wrong, nant tried to build elementtree before pythoncore (which failed). i fixed this by building elementtree separately. so my question is: will something like this be changed to support this setup (or at least to get the project files "cleaner")? should i submit a patch and see if it gets accepted? apart from that everything went fine, and i could reproduce the expected failure (ATM) of the regression test suite: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-December/059033.html btw, if anyone is interested in the (rather small) build-script for nant, just ask, so long, David. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
