[python-win32] building pywin32 on Server 2003 x64

[Hanni Ali]

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
