Ah, which patches? As with my buildbot Wiki page, I write down everything I do if there's a good chance I may need to do it again. So, e.g., these are my words in PCbuild\readme.txt: As of 11-Apr-2004, you also need to download and manually apply two patches before proceeding (and the sleepycat download page tells you about this). Cygwin patch worked for me. cd to dist\db-4.2.52 and use "patch -p0 < patchfile" once for each downloaded patchfile. It's possible that there are more patches needed since then, but if so I wouldn't know about that (last time I built the externals in the bsddb part was indeed 11-Apr-2004).

FWIW, thats an old BerkeleyDB (yes it'll still work). Python 2.5 should ship built with BerkeleyDB 4.4.20 so thats what buildbot should use if it builds the module.
