When I tried to build pythoncore in vc++8 express, it worked without a hitch until the link stage when i got an unresolved external _init_types. Python compiles just fine and pythonw compiles up to the link where it comes accross the same error. If I am suppose to contact someone else about my issue please sent me in the wright direction. my email is thomashsouthern@yahoo.com

Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Which version of the sources are you using? I think this is fixed in the SVN HEAD.

Logged In: YES user_id=1638546 thank you for your responses. after I answered your first question i went in search of the svn head for this project. I started at www.python.org and went to the developement area. I found svn trunk where the files for python 2.6 were located. I appolgize if I appear ignorant but I have never been interested in an open source project enough to want to compile from scratch and maybe even try and see what I could contribute. I don't know if I found the right area. where I did find. I would need to download each file individually. also, the "solution items" with "getbuildinfo.c" was not recognized by the vc++ express compiler. My question is this, am I looking in the correct location for the files I am looking for to build the source myself. also if this brings me out of the preview of the purpose of this thread please direct me to the proper location to continue to ask questions I might have as I try to understand my way around this project. thank you for your patients and help.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 If you want to check out the sources, you should familiarize yourself with subversion. With a command line client, the checkout line would be svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk or svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint If you want to use TortoiseSVN, just use the URL in the checkout dialog. This problem is fixed both in the trunk and the 2.5 branch, so you may just wait for 2.5.1 being released (which will happen some time next year). Closing as fixed.
