Zitat von Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com>:
Can anyone give me some advice, please? I am trying to build extensions on Windows 64-bit, using the free Windows SDK compilers.
Can you please be more specific? What SDK, and what free compilers? The bug report is about VS Express, not the SDK compilers.
Two questions, really: * Is there any intention that building extensions with the SDK compilers is supported?
As long as the SDK does include compilers: yes.
* How do I do it, if so?
Open a command window with the SDK environment variables set, then also set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK, and invoke setup.py
As an alternative, I wonder whether Microsoft would be willing to support Appveyor by providing them with access to the full version of MSVC (2008 and 2010) for the build workers? Steve - do you know if there's any possibility of something like that?
Not sure who is "they" and the "build workers". If you are talking about the Python core developers - we can already have MSDN access if we want.
