thanks! it works great! :)

the next step for my project is figuring out the best way to read midi files
but this shouldn't be that hard... i found some specifications and example
code already.

Re: [pygame] controlled midi playback

2008-01-01 Thread Lenard Lindstrom 
I guess it is getting late. LIBCMT.LIB is one version of the VC 6.0 C 
library, so apparently isn't present in VC 7.1. I expect uuid.lib is 
still be available. I am not so sure about OLDNAMES.LIB, but then you 
did not mention a LNK1104 for it so I assume it is also available. So 
try replacing line 34 in setup.py with the following two lines:


 libraries = ["portmidi", "winmm", "porttime"],
 extra_link_args = ["NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT"])

If it the linker complains about an invalid argument try adding a 
forward slash "/" before NODEFAULTLIB.

that fixed the pyrex problem. i have the .c file now but there is another
problem i ran into.

i tried to use code::blocks and the vctoolkit2003 to compile the extension.
i get this error message: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBCMTD.LIB

maybe you can give me another tip?

what compiler did python 2.5 for windows get compiled with? i read somewhere
that it can get messy if you don't use the same compiler for extensions.

and does anyone know if there are examples somewhere? like a simple program
which allows you to play a midi instrument (best using the integrated
