Hello,

2008/8/23 Fredrik Lundh <fredrik at pythonware.com>:

when I'm trying to build extensions under Python 2.6 on Windows XP, the build process terminates with single line that says:

error: None which is about as useless as an error message can be. Googling for this brings up a few hits which all seem to involve setuptools (and none of the hits contain any answers), but I'm using straightforward distutils stuff that has worked without a glitch since 1.5.2. Has anyone else seen this for 2.6?

I tried to rebuild some extensions, and it either succeeds, or fails with a meaningful (for an expert) error message.

Which extensions did you try? is there some output before the error?
