pywin32 builds on a 64bit environment, but you need the SVN trunk of Python,
the CVS trunk of pywin32, and VS2008.  VS2005 support isn't *that*
interesting to me as there are no Python binaries available built with that
compiler and I can't get VS.NET to build with the most recent Vista SDK,
which is needed for recent pywin32 functionality.  A Python 2.6 amd64 build
will be included in the next release.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Subject: [python-win32] building pywin32 on Server 2003 x64

 

Hi All,

 

I am attempting to build pywin32 for a 64 bit deployment.

 

It is necessary for us to use 64 bit python due to objects within our
application exceeding 2GB in size.

 

I am attempting to do so using msvc 2005 which I know is not ideal, but I
have managed to build the other dependencies (Python, numpy), my attention
is now on pywin32.

 

Firstly although I have managed to get it compiling, I was not able to use
the instruction:

 

setup.py build --plat-name=win-amd64

 

The setup script reported plat-name as not existing.

 

Secondly is anyone building pywin32 on 64 bit machines?

 

Although I seem to have hacked it suficiently to get it to compile linking
fails with errors of this manner:

 

MSVCRT.lib(gs_support.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
__imp_Get
CurrentThreadId referenced in function __security_init_cookie

 

I appreciate any help anyone can give.

 

Thanks

 

Hanni
