[Python-Dev] Switch to VC.NET 7.1 completed (original) (raw)

I now have committed the bits for building Python with VC.NET.

Anybody regularly building on Windows should delete all object files, i.e. the PCBuild/temp folders, PCBuild/*.{lib,dll,pyd,exe} (probably more, but they should get generated anew), and object files of prereq libraries you regularly use.

In the process, I also updated a few prerequisite libraries to the current versions: Tcl, Sleepycat, openssl (updating Tcl is not strictly needed - you do need to rebuild it, though). I have also incorporated a few more modules into python24.dll.

I have moved the VC6 files to PC/VC6. I have no plans of maintaining them, and they are as they were last in PCBuild. I see no problem though with somebody else maintaining the for the time being, if somebody volunteers.

Please let me know of any problems you encounter.

Regards, Martin
