I'll help you test it out. Let the list know when it's ready, or you can email me directly<br>

Hi,<br><br>On Fri Dec 14 1:47 , Ronald Oussoren <<a href="mailto:ronaldoussoren@mac.com">ronaldoussoren@mac.com</a>> sent:<br><div class="Ih2E3d">>We recently switched to MS Visual Studio 2005 and now I'm wondering
<br>>how to build a fresh Python binary using that. I've download the<br>>source patches from SF.net and applied those to the head of Python's<br>>release25-maint branch. I then build using 'scons.bat
' in the PCbuild/<br>>WinCE directory which, after some patching, results in an executable.<br>>So far, so good.<br><br></div>I've got some patches to msevc.py so that the build should autodetect the presence
<br>of either EVC or Visual Studio 2005 (or 2008) and configure the build process<br>correctly. I just haven't had time to tidy them up and publish them. Maybe I'll get<br>some time over the Christmas break.<br><br>
Would you be keen of giving these patches a "beta test" on your system once I've<br>got them ready?<br><br>Likewise if you have any patches to allow building against release25-maint I'd be<br>interested in combining them with my current improvements to the port.
<br><div class="Ih2E3d"><br>>That doesn't include the sqlite extension though, and when I use<br>>'scons.bat cab' I get an error about not finding the sqlite3 header<br>>files. The reason for that is obvious, the solution is less so. The
<br>>build complains because I have to download the sqlite sources and<br>>store them somewhere, but I have no idea where they should be stored.<br><br></div>The download of PythonCE source code would have placed the source in a directory
<br>called "Python-2.5". You need to place the sqlite-ce source code in a directory<br>beside this folder (i.e. the main folder has both a Python-2.5 and Sqlite<br>subfolder). The name it should have depends upon the exact version of sqlite your
<br>PythonCE source code has been hardcoded for. For my current branch I need to place<br>it into a directory called sqlite-source-3.3.5-wince.<br><br>The exact path can be determined by opening up the SConstruct file. It should have
<br>a line containing a line like the following:<br><br>sqlite_source = '#../../../sqlite-source-3.3.5-wince'<br><br>Hope this helps,<br><font color="#888888">Christopher Fairbairn<br></font><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">
