[Python-Dev] More detailed build instructions for Windows (original) (raw)

I'm trying to test out a patch to add a timeout in subprocess.py on Windows, so I need to build Python with Visual Studio. The docs say the files in PCBuild/ work with VC 9 and newer.

Which docs did you look at specifically that said "and newer"? That would be a bug.

I downloaded Visual C++ 2010 Express, and it needs to convert the .vcproj files into .vcxproj files, but it fails.

Please take a look at PCbuild/readme.txt. It tells you to install one of the Visual Studio 2008 editions.

Regards, Martin
