Why are you building the projects step by step? "Build solution" or F6 builds everything in the right order.

Because I'm clueless :-)

I knew there must be a way of building the lot, but couldn't find it - I haven't used Visual Studio since the days of VC6, and what little I did know, I've forgotten :-)

Thanks for the tip.

You can alter the user macros from the Property Manager. It's a bit hidden in the GUI under View -> Other Windows -> Property Manager. In the property manager pick a random project and configuration and edit the pyproject property file. Almost every project inherits settings directly or indirectly from pyproject. The macros are under "User Macros". You have to safe the property file all by yourself. My Beta 2 doesn't save the property file with "Save All".

Thanks again for the tip :-)

You still need Perl if you are using an official download of openssl. I've added the pre-build assembly and makefiles in the svn external at svn.python.org

I don't think I did... I'm pretty sure I used the ones from openssl.org. But it's no big deal. Whatever I did seemed to work.

Paul.
