To use the SDK compiler, you need to do a few manual steps
first.
After starting a command window, you need to run a batch file
to configure your environment. Choose the appropriate option
from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\bin\vcvars64.bat
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat
Then set two environment variables:
set MSSdk=1 set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1
After these steps, the standard python setup.py install should
work.
This may be fine for building extensions, but it appears that more
instructions are needed for a novice to build python itself.
I'm not even sure that these variables are necessary - certainly
without the compilers installed setup.py looks in the right place for
them. I'll try this as well.
Setting MSSdk shouldn't be necessary, as vcvars should already have set it
(unless that changed in recent SDKs). Setting DISTUTILS_USE_SDK is
necessary as a protection to avoid unintionally picking up the wrong
build tools.
As for distutils finding them automatically: this only works for finding
VS installations. It is (AFAICT) not possible to automatically locate
SDK installations (other than by exhaustive search of the disk).
As for the documentation, I'd be happy to provide an update for this
section once I've checked out that everything works.
I think it should explain to to invoke msbuild, in addition to
explaining how to plug old compilers into new IDEs.
