Hello;Haven't been following a lot lately, but if you are still trying to
build AOO's Python 2.7.x with MSVC2011, then this still applies.If you moved on
to Python 3.X nevermind ... that's its own can of worms :).
Good point. I forgot about the mail. Thanks for the bumb.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Hello;
Sorry to bring this up again, with the greatest respect to Damjan's work to get
this building somehow. The following patches are wrong and should be removed:
main/python/python-2.7.18-msvs9-win64-target.patch
main/python/python-2.7.18-msvs9-win64.patch
Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 (AKA Visual Studio 2008) doesn't support Win64, and
the path is specifically meant for that compiler.
Python 2.x still support the old compiler on misc/build/Python-2.7.18/PC/VS9.0
but newer compilers should be using misc/build/Python-2.7.18/PCBuild
Fixing that for newer compilers should make things a lot easier.
Congratulations everybody, specially Damjan for the hard work and the the amd64
nearing!
Pedro.

Hi;
As a follow up to my comments on python and MSVC versions, I think a starting
point to fix the build problem correctly would be to add something like this in
main/python/makefile.mk (around line 127)
# Requires adapting for according to the MSVC compiler version.# Normally PCBuild will carry the
latest supported build files..IF "$(CCNUMVER)" <=
"00150030729"BUILD_DIR=PC/VS9.0.ELSEBUILD_DIR=PCBuild.ENDIF

There is no VS/10.0, at least not for python 2.7.x, as I had thought
previously, and we shouldn't worry about any MS Visual C++ older than 2008.
Yes, I realize this involves boring rework, but that's the way the python
documentation suggests.
Cheers,
Pedro.
