New submission from Kovid Goyal: The Pcbuild/readme.txt file implies that it is possible to build python 2.7.11rc1 with Visual Studio 2015 (although it is not officially supported). However, there are at least a couple of problems, that I have encountered so far:
1) timemodule.c uses timezone, tzname and daylight which are no longer defined in visual studio, as a quick hackish workaround, one can do #if defined _MSC_VER && MSC_VER >= 1900 #define timezone _timezone #define tzname _tzname #define daylight _daylight #endif 2) More serious, the code in posixmodule.c to check if file descriptors are valid no longer links, since it relies on an internal structure from microsoft ddls, __pioinfo that no longer exists. See https://bugs.python.org/issue23524 for discussion about this in the python 3.x branch As a quick and dirty fix one could just replace _PyVerify_fd with a stub implementation that does nothing for _MSC_VER >= 1900 However, a proper fix should probably be made. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 255550 nosy: kovidgoyal priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python 2.7.11rc1 not building with Visual Studio 2015 type: compile error versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25759> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
