The #1307806 patch failed to apply completely in r41897, probably because it was generated for Python 2.4.2 which didn't include the AST files. I've attached a patch which will complete the cleanup of pythoncore.vcproj and which also cleans up _elementtree.vcproj. Note that there is a bug in the current pythoncore.vcproj: The BUILD macro is defined as 60, it should be at least 67 as it was in Python 2.4.2. I didn't fix this since I don't know what's the correct BUILD number for Python 2.5 (68?).
Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The build number is gone in Python 2.5, so we should just remove all traces of it; I will do that. For reference, see PCbuild/BUILDno.txt.
Logged In: YES user_id=21627 This patch is wrong: for expat, it removes HAVE_EXPAT_H, XML_NS, etc, which are all necessary for expat to be build correctly. Also, can you please create the patches through "svn diff"? Then it is clearer what revision you are diffing against.
Logged In: YES user_id=1067739 The patch is fine. HAVE_EXPAT_H and other macros are not removed. Instead the individual definition of those macros for each file is removed, which is exactly the purpose of this patch. You can see those macros defined in the "PreprocessorDefinitions" attribute of each compiler tool entry for the three configurations (Debug, Release, Itanium Release). Have you tried to compile the project and failed? I didn't tried it since it would require me to checkout/export the whole HEAD, but I would be very surprised if it didn't work. If that's not an appropiate procedure, feel free to drop this patch. It was created against HEAD at that time. The files which are modified (_elementtree.vcproj and pythoncore.vcproj) haven't change in the meantime. So the patch is still against HEAD. In fact, I've downloaded the current versions of those two files and applied the patch and everything was as intended. So I don't see the purpose of uploading another patch.
