[Python-Dev] Build failure and problem on Windows (original) (raw)

Building the svn trunk on Windows fails because Python\pyarena.c is missing in the pythoncore.vcproj file (I'm not yet up to speed with svn, otherwise I would have checked in a fix for this myself).

Worse, when running the built exe it segfaults in PyGetBuildInfo(), because it is picking up somehow a definition of #define BUILD 'b' (from cPickle.c? Could that be?)

[also Thomas Heller]

I should have known better, but BUILD is defined in the MSVC project file as BUILD=60.

[Thomas Heller again]

I've committed a fix for both (Hope these comments aren't off-topic nowadays for python-dev).

Not at all, according to me. Nobody appears to be paying attention to Python under VC 7.1 these days, but what you did here certainly helped me when I got some time for it this weekend! Thank you.
