[Python-Dev] Expat vs Windows (original) (raw)

Anyone understand what's going on with expat? I noticed pyexpat stopped compiling on Windows a day or two ago, but didn't have time to look at it.

Today I see it compiles, but generates lots of linker warnings:

Creating library ./pyexpat.lib and object ./pyexpat.exp LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "_XML_GetSpecifiedAttributeCount" imported LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "_XML_Parse" imported LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "_XML_ErrorString" imported

etc.

Are we trying to break away from the SourceForge expat project? Seems a dubious idea, if so. In any case, I can make almost no time for repairing this on Windows, so need someone to explain what we're trying to accomplish here (btw, if someone already explained this on some mailing list, sorry, I'm hundreds of msgs behind the times).
