I'm trying to build lxml for MeVisLab 2.7 on Windows 7 x64. Therefore I'm using the Python 2.7 delivered with MeVisLab and MS Visual Studio 2013 Professional.

Extensions should be build with the same compiler that built python, you should probably check if that was indeed VS2013 (I'm unfamiliar with MeVisLab).

So when trying to build lxml it fails with the output in build.log. It looks like it's trying to rebuild lxml.etree, but does it even have to?

Are you building from the git repository? Then you should build with Cython, else you need the source distribution which includes the Cython generated files. HTH, Wietse
