Trouble building Python2.3.3c1 on WinXP: where's pythonnt_rc.h?

[vincent wehren]

Hi,

I'm running into trouble building Python2.3.3c1 from source on a Windows XP
machine.

I'm getting C:\Python-2.3.3c1\PC\python_nt.rc(14) : fatal error RC1015:
cannot open include file 'pythonnt_rc_d.h'

Is this some magic involving "make_versioninfo.dsw"?
What gives?
I am lost here...

Any pointers much appreciated.

Regards,

Vincent Wehren

I assume you try to build from the tarball downloaded from
www.python.org.

This one has the problem (which will be fixed in 2.3.3 final) that the
make_versioninfo.dsp file has unix-style line endings, and MSVC refuses
to load the project file then. (The make_versioninfo project creates
the header file you mention).

Try to convert make_versioninfo.dsp to DOS stype line endings (loading
it into wordpad - not notepad - and saving it again is one possibility),
reload the workspace and it should build.

Right on target. It works fine now...


Thanks Thomas!
